Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chaudhry Fawad Hussain ‘Mr. Arif Alvi, 16" April, 2023 The Honourable President of Pakistan, Sir, ‘This is to draw our kind attention towards the breach of mandatory constitutional commands by the Federal Government and The El tion Commission of Pakistan, Itis in your knowledge that the under the Constitution of Pakistan 1973, sovereignty belongs to Allah Subhan o Tallah and the state is bound to exercise its authority through chosen representatives. Therefore, to ensure the fair and transparent elections under article 224 of the constitution, the care taker government (that can fairly be considered an extension of Election Commission) for the limited time period of 90 days have been introduced, ith only object to facilitate the commission in holding free, fair, just and honest elections in accordance with constitution and law. During such period the care taker governments are vested with only authority and power to run day to day affairs and not to take major policy deci ion, After the dissolution of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial assemblies, the care taker setups were established in both provinces. However, due to the unconstitutional and illegal actions of the ECP and the PDM government, the mandatory time period for holding the elections within the stipulated time lapsed and the Hon'ble Supreme Court was constrained to fix the time period for holding elections by using its constitutional jurisdiction. Therefore, the incumbent caretakers with the tacit approval of the ECP, in violation of all ‘mandatory laws and standards of propriety have been permitted to embark upon the unchartered territories and it is indulged in taking major policy decisions including posting and transfers of the officials to affect the transparency and fairness of the elections. The interim setups in both provinces have completed their constitutional time period and since the constitution does not provide for continuation/extension of the period fixed for the interim set ups. Under these circumstances, the interim setups cannot be termed lawful and they must be considered “usurpers” imposed by the Election Commission and they are liable to be removed forthwith, In this eventuality it is respectfully requested to kindly refer the matter to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in advisory jurisdiction to address this blatant unconstitutionality Yours Truly, Ch Fawad Ahmed Senior Vice President, Pakistan Tehreck e Insaf, Plot # 1-A, Street # 32, Sector G-8/4, Islamabad, Pakistan Tel: +92 51 2610046, +92 51 26102047, Website: www.insaf.pk
