Constitutional amendments aimed at banning PTI: Salman Akram Raja

Constitutional amendments PTI ban Imran Khan military court Salman Akram Raja

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Salman Akram Raja has claimed constitutional amendments are aimed at handing over party founder Imran Khan to the military court.

He was talking in ARY News’ program Off the Record.

Raja strongly opposed the idea of creating a court superior to the Supreme Court, stating that every individual has a duty to comply with the orders of the Supreme Court.

“This constitutional amendment is an attempt to alter the fundamental structure of the Constitution and to establish the court to file a reference to ban the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).”

He further claimed that the amendments are intended to impose a ban on PTI and hand over its leader to military courts. “By doing this, the government is distorting the essence of the Constitution,” Raja added.

He criticized the move, stating that a constitutional system based on deception cannot function properly.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
