SC should have made decision with collective wisdom: Law Minister

ISLAMABAD: In a press conference shortly after the Supreme court verdict was announced, Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar lamented the ruling and said the SC should have made a decision with “collective wisdom”. “The full court should have heard the case,” he added.

He said ECP lawyers and other stakeholders had argued that the court should first decide on the March 1 verdict — which was “rejected 4-3 […] a full court should have cleared this confusion.”

He said the cabinet would discuss the matter in its meeting today.

Earlier today, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah had said that elections should be held in the country simultaneously, adding that separate polls to provincial assemblies will only create anarchy, chaos and further political crises.
