The government has denied claims that the Cabinet held an emergency meeting following the Supreme Court’s decision to proceed with a case challenging last year’s constitutional amendment on MP disqualifications.
Presidential Spokesperson Heena Waleed dismissed the report, calling it false and stating that the President’s Office would take the matter to the Media Council.
“Such false information is unacceptable. The Office of the President will refer the matter to the Media Council,” Heena said.
Her remarks come as the Supreme Court today ruled that it would hear the petition filed by the PNC-majority Parliament, seeking to nullify the amendment that disqualifies MPs who leave or are expelled from their elected party.
The case is being heard by a full seven-judge bench of the Supreme Court, which has decided to proceed despite the prosecution's objections.
