He added there was a “fight of egos and stubbornness” going on in the country, which was facing chaos, confusion, uncertainty and division. These factors, Ashraf continued, led to destruction wherever they were present. The NA speaker termed the stand-off between the Parliament and SC “unfortunate”, saying that it had had a deep impact on Parliament, as well as politics.
Regarding the apex court seeking the record of the National Assembly proceedings from when the bill aimed at clipping the chief justice’s powers was deliberated upon and passed by the house, Ashraf said the issuance of the directive to Parliament implied that it “is no longer supreme”. He said by pre-emptively preventing the enforcement of the bill clipping the CJP’s power, the court was “directly intervening in Parliament’s affairs”. The NA speaker further remarked that Parliament had remained a “target of the establishment or the Supreme Court”. “The judiciary endorsed the establishment’s actions and protected its unconstitutional measures in the past.”
