The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) government has decided not to present a resolution in the provincial assembly for the formation of constitutional courts.
Provincial Law Minister Aftab Alam explained that since the provincial government does not recognise the 26th Constitutional Amendment, they cannot accept the formation of constitutional courts under it,
“If we do not recognise the 26th Constitutional Amendment, how can we agree to the creation of constitutional courts?” he said, adding that the government would not bring such a resolution to the assembly.
The provincial cabinet has also approved this decision, ensuring that no such resolution will be tabled.
Minister For Law Aftab Alam further stated that the opposition, led by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), had rejected the 26th Amendment, and the provincial government could not accept it.
He also highlighted the ongoing issues in the K-P Assembly, with the chamber incomplete and certain seats still vacant.
“The assembly is not complete; the decision on reserved seats has not been made, and the Senate elections are also pending,” Alam said.
