There is intense political activity in Pakistan these days. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been in jail for a long time and has not been able to meet him these days. This is the reason why the rumor of Imran’s death also spread. Meanwhile, Pakistan has been severely reprimanded by the United Nations. The attitude of Pak Army Chief Asim Munir is becoming dictatorial. However, the important reason for UN’s reaction is Pakistan’s 27th constitutional amendment. Pakistan has also presented clarification on this.
In fact, through the 27th Constitutional Amendment, the Parliament of Pakistan has given Asim Munir such legal power that no court can question him. Because of this decision there is a rebellion like situation in Pakistan. Along with this, the United Nations has also expressed objection. UN human rights chief Volker Turk has warned that this could put the justice system under executive control. The UN called it a weakening of democracy.
What did Pakistan say in clarification?
According to the report of ‘The Hindu’, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has become nervous after Turk’s statement. However, he has also offered clarification. The Foreign Ministry said, “This is an unnecessary concern.” This matter is completely within the jurisdiction of the Parliament of Pakistan. Like democracy, changing the law and constitution is the right of the elected representatives.
Why is there controversy regarding the 27th amendment?
Through this amendment, Pakistan has formed a new Federal Constitution Court, which will give the final decision on matters related to the Constitution. The important thing is that The Supreme Court has now been limited to only civil and crime related cases. Along with this, the biggest controversy is regarding the new post of Chief of Defense Forces. Munir has got its first charge.
