Former Law Minister Basharat Raja, Nadir Duggal Advocate, former Bar President Asim Cheema, Zulfiqar Ghuman Advocate, Safdar Hayat Bosal, former Bar President Sikandar Hayat, Sarmad Ghani Chatta and Tayyab. Usman Randhawa attended the meeting. In the meeting, expressing reservations on the governor not giving the election date, former chief minister Ch Parvez Elahi raised constitutional questions before the governor of Punjab.
Ch Parvez Elahi said that the position of the Governor of Punjab is that he did not sign the advice of dissolution of the assembly, so he will not give the date. Governor should tell that when he did not sign the dissolution of the assembly, then under what authority did he form the caretaker government? How did the governor write consultation letters to the chief minister and the opposition leader for the care-taker setup?
In what capacity did the governor write a letter to the speaker to form a parliamentary committee, in what capacity did the governor of Punjab take the oath of the care-taker cabinet, the governor of Punjab is running away from the election date after gulping sweets, if the governor does not accept the constitutional responsibility, then the care-taker setup established by him will also be unconstitutional, when the governor is dissociating himself from the dissolution of the assembly and not giving a date, then the constitutional process has not progressed, the care-taker setup has been established after this action of the governor, all the actions of care-taker setup are also illegal, cases should be filed against the care-taker setup for illegal actions.
Ch Parvez Elahi said that those who take steps beyond the constitution should be prepared to face action under Article 6. The nation will not tolerate any attempt to violate the constitution. Governor Punjab and Election Commission should know that violation of the constitution is accountable. Ch Parvez Elahi said that out of fear of Imran Khan, PDM and its allies have come to subvert the constitution, the election after the dissolution of the assembly is a constitutional fact, the governor or the election commission cannot run away from it, the judiciary will not allow any attempt to subvert the constitution, lawyers and bar associations will also stop the way of breaking the constitution.
