SC verdict on reserved seats tantamount to rewriting constitution: Kh Asif

SIALKOT (Hrnw) – Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that the Supreme Court has rewritten the constitution in its verdict on reserved seats.

Addressing a press conference in Sialkot on Saturday, senior PML-N leader said that legislation is the prerogative of parliament.

“The responsibilities of all the institutions are very well written in the constitution. The judiciary can only interpret the constitution,” said the PML-N veteran.

The apex court on Friday overturned the Peshawar High Court’s verdict of depriving the PTI of the reserved seats of non-Muslim and women candidates in assemblies.

Kh Asif further added that PTI was given a big relief by the Supreme Court through this verdict.
