The Supreme Court directed the federal and provincial governments to implement the Supreme Court’s 2021 decision and has once again banned politicians from placing plaques on development projects.
The Supreme Court asked for implementation report from the federal and provincial governments in 2 weeks, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government was also asked for a report on the spending of development funds according to the constitution and law.
The Chief Justice remarked that if you do development work from your own pocket, then put your name on it. The Supreme Court while issuing orders remarked that Pakistan is a democratic country and not a monarchy, the people in Pakistan are not the subjects of any ruler, can people’s money be spent against the constitution and law?
The court also directed the chief secretary to submit an implementation report regarding the distribution of government funds in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. But, the poor people have finally corrupted the governments?
If you want to compete, do it on how much income tax has been paid by which politician. He added that does the constitution allow money to be spent without the approval of the assembly? Why do the members of the assembly go and fight the elections? The main purpose of going to the assembly is to pass legislation and get permission to spend funds.
The Chief Justice inquired that why are they afraid of the Assembly? If you want to spend funds, take approval from the assembly, people should also know where the money is being spent. When will Pakistan be steered in the right direction?
If the members of the assembly want to buy a land cruiser, money comes out immediately, take approval from the assembly to buy a land cruiser, why are schemes made in the name of politicians?
He further said that those who made Pakistan do not value them, if someone wants to do something, then he should do it from his own pocket. In America, educational institutions have been built by people from their own pockets. Freedom means free people, leaving the slavery of one. Don’t be caught by others, if you spend money from your own pocket and get the work done, you must put your own plaque.
The Chief Justice said that in China, from the minister to the members of the assembly, everyone goes on a bicycle while we are busy buying Land Cruiser, the work that was being done during the tenure of Parvez Elahi is still being done in Punjab.
Why is credit taken by cutting the ribbon on projects? Place plaques with the names of those who fought for freedom. The Chief Justice asked the Additional Advocate General Punjab that how many government lawyers are there in Punjab? To which Advocate General Punjab replied that currently there are 86 law officers, their number is being reduced to 66.
