Today, Pakistan’s hybrid system is dysfunctional. There is an urgent need to strengthen the foundation of democracy, the constitution. The constitution empowers the people who are ultimately supreme in a democracy. Therefore, there is a need to bury the infamous "Doctrine of Necessity" forever in Pakistan. The Supreme Court of Pakistan will just do that today. The court will uphold the Rule of Law and the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan which is being trampled by the PDM government backed by the military. The Supreme Court will uphold the demand of the Opposition PTI to hold elections in KP and Punjab within 90 days of the dissolution of the assembles. That much is certain. The public stands with the Supreme Court of Pakistan now
It can be easily predicted that scheduled provincial elections will be held with some grace period, as per the requirements of the Election Commission of Pakistan, and as per the Constitution.?A historic Supreme Court judgment is expected today.
