ISLAMABAD: Terming Supreme Court the most appropriate forum for interpretation of the Constitution, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi Tuesday said the government would respect its guidance on the matter of open ballot in the Senate election.
In a statement, he said the government had only two options: one, to approach court for a constitutional interpretation; two to amend the Constitution, for which it lacked two-thirds majority.
Commenting on the current political situation in the country, Qureshi said Pakistan People’s Party and Pakistan Muslim League-N always bluffed about democracy and demanded open voting, but were now deviating from their claims.
