The working of the constitution
July 10, 2021
The constitution of Pakistan will turn fifty in about two years. It is time to assess its working during all these years. It has been put in abeyance on three occasions; and several changes have been grafted upon it through amendments by martial law regimes, parliament and through judicial interpretation. It has been violated in many other forms, but it has survived.
Ideally, steps should be taken to celebrate this important occasion at the state level. Political parties and leaders, who rule the multitude, under its command, also owe a moral duty to celebrate the event. Seminars and debates should be organized to review its working. Keeping in view the past and the attitude of the people towards the constitution, most likely nothing of the sort will happen. This cynicism originates for the reason that the constitution of Pakistan essentially remains a legal document.

The Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) is here to stay.
Within three years of its formation, the religious right party has not only shown immense street power but it has also proven to possess the electoral strength to spring up surprises, such as the one in 2018 in Karachi’s Lyari when the TLP candidate raked in more votes than Pakistan Peoples Party s (PPP) chairperson.
At the moment, the TLP is a banned entity for damaging public property and attacking law enforcement personnel. Yet, its three members of the Sindh Assembly have not been disqualified. Not only that, but the TLP is one of the frontrunners in the upcoming by-polls in Karachi, despite internal squabbling.
