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,
