Federal Cabinet has approved constitution of a special committee to make recommendations on
implementation of Supreme Court’s detailed judgment in the suo-moto case regarding former
Deputy Speaker National Assembly Qasim Suri’s ruling on 3rd April.
This was stated by Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb while
breifing media after the cabinet meeting in Islamabad, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in
the chair.
The committee, headed by Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, and comprising ministers for
Information and Interior along with representatives of all coalition partners, will present its
recommendations to the cabinet in its next meeting.
Marriyum Aurangzeb said the cabinet members unanimously approved a resolution which
welcomed the Supreme Court’s verdict over Qasim Suri’s “unconstitutional” ruling.
She said the detailed decision of the Supreme Court, based on the supremacy of the
Constitution, is commendable as it has buried the ‘doctrine of necessity’.
