Sir: In a yet another controversial verdict that has sent tremors across the electoral system of Pakistan, the Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that a person disqualified under Articles 62, 63 is ineligible to head political party. This means that Nawaz has been struck down from PML-N presidency and all party decisions taken by him since Panamagate judgement will be nullified. The decision is as politicized as was the verdict on Panamagate. First, a public mandate was attacked and now, a party’s right to exist and operate independently according to the democratic norms has been sabotaged. This can never be justified. Also, the verdict has fuelled the speculations over certain factors pertaining to this verdict. This ruling has only strengthened Nawaz Sharif’s moral position and legitimacy. The decision is also very likely to increase the bank vote of PML-N. AZMAT ZUBAIR Okara Published in Daily Times, February 22nd 2018.
