Summary Judicial commission can be formed but within constitutional limits, the minister said.
ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) - Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal on Friday said that if the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) wants formation of a judicial commission on its terms of reference involving some administrative lapses, it will be contrary to the constitution.
Talking to media in Islamabad, the Minister stated that the government will have to create a consensus taking other parties into confidence on this issue and it requires amendment in the constitution as well.
He further stated that the government is ready to form judicial commission within parameters of the law.
Commenting on NA-122 vote recount result, Ahsan Iqbal said that the absence of stamps on vote counter foils was simply mismanagement but it cannot be termed rigging.
PTI chief Imran Khan on December 17 called off his over four-month protest in the capital against alleged rigging in last year s polls saying he wanted to help the government focus on the fight against terror a day after the Peshawar attack that killed 148 people.
Khan had launched the protest in Lahore on August 14 and brought thousands of his supporters to sit-in in front of the parliament in Islamabad to force the government to hold an impartial probe in allegations of fraud in the election. He had also demanded the ouster of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Khan finally decided to end the protest after the horrific school attack that left 132 schoolchildren dead but he warned that failure on the part of the government to address his rigging complaint will force him to again come on the streets.
