PPP requested the SC to return the reference.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has on Tuesday filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the presidential reference on Senate elections open balloting.
The plea has been filed by PPP Secretary Farhatullah Babar and requested the apex court to return the reference.
The petition states, “It is the view of PPPP that the instant Reference is only a political question made in furtherance of political objectives and hence ought to be returned.
“The Senate Elections are held under the Constitution as the same are explicitly detailed therein and no plausible reason has been given as to why the Legislature has omitted the same from the purview of Article 226.”
