Author: APP
ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said on Friday that the government has decided to file a reference under Article-186 in the Supreme Court for interpretation of Article 63-A.
The Supreme Court would be asked for its opinion about the members of a party who were involved in horse-trading and changed their allegiances in exchange for money, what would be the legal status of their vote, he said in a tweet.
The minister said that the apex court would be requested to decide that the members who changed their allegiances for economic benefits be disqualified for life or they would be allowed to run for re-election.
The Supreme Court, he said would be requested to hear this reference on a daily basis and give a verdict.
The prime minister, according to sources, assigned the responsibility for filing the reference in the apex court to PTI Additional Secretary Amir Mahmood Kiani and Adviser to Prime Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Babar Awan.
The premier also directed the PTI leaders present in the meeting to ramp up the preparations for the March 27 rally — where the ruling party plans on gathering one million people, a day before the voting on the no-trust motion.
