The Silent Conspiracy: How Power Play Reshapes Justice

-

Slowly but surely, the truth is coming out. The perpetrators, once silent, have begun speaking, revealing the mechanics behind the amendments they passed. Today, Bilawal Bhutto made a significant revelation. He admitted that the constitutional amendments were only possible due to the presence of Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa. He acknowledged that if not for Qazi’s facilitation, these changes might never have come to pass.

This revelation is no small matter. It means that Justice Qazi aided their efforts, giving them the judicial leverage they needed. Without his cooperation, they wouldn’t have had the opportunity to push these amendments through. Qazi played a pivotal role, in clearing the path, removing hurdles, and providing the assistance necessary for the approval of these amendments. This isn’t just about a minor favor; it’s about judicial facilitation that altered the political landscape.

A Reversal of Decisions

To understand the full extent of this, we need to go back to a decision by former Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial. His ruling on Article 63(A) of the Constitution deeply frustrated the PML-N and PPP. It was the time when some members of Imran Khan's party defected and voted against him in the no-confidence motion. When the matter reached the Supreme Court, Justice Bandial's decision, which was also supported by Justice Munib Akhtar, declared that any member who votes against the direction of their party leader would not only have their vote disqualified but would also be de-seated.

This ruling was a major blow to the government. They filed an appeal for a review of this decision, but nothing happened for two years—until Qazi Faez Isa took over as Chief Justice. Suddenly, that old review petition was brought to light, and in a strategic move a few days before the passing of the constitutional amendment, Qazi assembled a five-member bench, placing himself at its helm. This bench reversed the earlier decision, stating that while members would still be disqualified for voting against party lines, their votes would now be counted.

A Carefully Laid Plan

This move opened the floodgates. With the decision reversed, the government now had the legal backing to count the votes of those who defected. They swiftly moved forward with their constitutional amendments. They had already managed to pull defectors from the PTI, and with these seven additional votes, they secured the approval of the amendments. Bilawal Bhutto openly admitted that this would not have been possible without Qazi’s cooperation. This might not have happened if any other chief justice had been in power. Bilawal’s words implied that no other judge would have been willing to stoop so low, that no other judge harbored such disdain for Imran Khan.

Mastering Speed Learning with ChatGPT: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction Learning has always been a challenge for me. I’d go to class, sit down, and try to focus, but my attention would drift. Whether it was a bird outside the window or classmates chatting, I’d often find myself lost in thought. This lack of focus made school hard, and it wasn’t long before I was falling behind. But over time, I’ve learned how to hack my learning process. I managed to teach myself a tool called QlikView in just 2 days before a critical interview at a pharmaceutical company—and it worked. That’s when I realized speed learning could be a game-changer. Today, I’m passionate about learning new skills, from AI to new languages, and I’ve even created my own YouTube videos and bots. My love for learning has grown into both a habit and a hobby. In this guide, I’m going to share the techniques I’ve developed and how ChatGPT can help anyone become a speed learner. 1. The Power of Focused Learning When I had to prepare for my Meta data science interview, I had only two da...

Let me take you on a journey that connects the dots across continents, linking Pakistan’s fate with seismic shifts in global politics.

A Glimpse into America’s Changing Dynamics It began with a few tweets—tweets that signal a potential earthquake in the global political landscape. These weren’t just any tweets but came from Elon Musk, one of the world’s most influential figures, and now closely tied to Donald Trump’s team.

In his tweets, Musk didn’...

In stark contrast, other media channels and social media platforms were abuzz with discussions about what th...
