Govt files reference in SC for interpretation of Article 63(A)
Attorney General of Pakistan Khalid Javed Khan files references on behalf of President Alvi.
Islamabad: The government on Monday filed a presidential reference in the Supreme Court of Pakistan for the interpretation of Article 63(A) of the constitution in the Supreme Court.
According to details, the reference was filed by the Attorney-General of Pakistan Khalid Javed Khan on behalf of President Arif Alvi.
While answering a question asked about the nature of the reference, Khalid Jawed Khan said that the reference mainly includes questions; Will the dissident MPS be disqualified for life? What would be the significance of the votes polled by those [dissident] MPs? Will the vote of these MPs be counted or not?
Previously, Federal Minister for Planning, Development, Reforms, and Special Initiatives Asad Umar on Sunday had said in a tweet that the reference was "ready" to be filed in the apex court.
"Hopefully the case will put the bizarre trade of buying loyalties and becoming a turncoat in politics to an end forever and the influence of money in politics would be reduced," Umar wrote.
