“He wrote that the incumbent governor cannot be removed as there was neither any allegation of misconduct nor conviction by any court of law or of any act committed by him contrary to the Constitution of Pakistan,” said the press release. President Alvi highlighted the governor’s constitutional role and said he had sent a report on proceedings regarding the chief minister’s election in the Punjab Assembly that had raised questions regarding the validity of Usman Buzdar’s resignation as the provincial chief and the shifting of MPA loyalties. “The president emphasised that it was essential that the incumbent governor should continue to stay to encourage and promote a healthy and clean democratic system where members are not coerced or bought to bring about an illegitimate change and Article 63A of the Constitution specifically discouraged such activities,” the press release added.
Earlier in the day, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said the president was bound to follow the prime minister’s advice and any deviation from it would be unconstitutional. He said the presidency was a symbolic office in a parliamentary democracy and did not have “veto power”. “The presidency is not a PTI secretariat. Don’t be a slave to Imran Khan [and] follow the Constitution,” Sanaullah said.
