ISLAMABAD-\u00a0 The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Wednesday declared the government\u2019s fact-finding committee on Faizabad sit-in as illegal, observed that it wanted to know the real mastermind of the sit-in.<\/p>\n

A SC three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa made these remarks while hearing a case related to Faizabad sit-in. \u00a0Justice Aminuddin Khan and Justice Athar Minallah were the other members of the bench.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, the CJP remarked that \u201cAbsar Alam leveled serious allegations against an officer under Ministry of Defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you still want to withdraw the review petition in the case?,\u201d the top judge asked AGP Mansoor Awan.<\/p>\n

The AGP said that the allegations made by Absar Alam would be examined by the fact-finding committee, to which Chief Justice inquired about Absar Alam\u2019s position during the Faizabad sit-in.<\/p>\n

The AGP said that he was the chairman of PEMRA at that time.<\/p>\n

Justice Isa asked, \u201cWhen did the federal government establish the fact-finding committee?\u201d Attorney General replied that on October 19, the federal government formed the committee, which would conduct a comprehensive review and submit a report.\u00a0 The CJP asked, \u201cHas the committee not done anything so far?\u201d To this, Mansoor Awan said, \u201cThe committee had a meeting on October 26,\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court posed questions to the fact-finding committee established by the federal government regarding the Faizabad sit-in judgment.<\/p>\n

Justice Athar Minallah asked, \u201cUnder which law was the fact-finding committee formed, and what is its legal status?\u201d\u00a0 The CJP remarked, \u201cThe committee was created only to produce reports; there is nothing more to it,\u201d.<\/p>\n

The bench remarked that they would not accept the report of the committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy should the court work on this? Implementing the Faizabad sit-in judgment is the government\u2019s responsibility.\u00a0 What will they do? How many times were they rescheduled? How much damage was done? Who will see all of this? Who is responsible for Faizabad sit-in?,\u201d asked the bench.<\/p>\n

Attorney General Mansoor Awan stated that the government established the committee for the purpose of conducting an inquiry. In response the CJP \u00a0said, \u201cThe committee is just a piece of paper; a country cannot be run with just a piece of paper. Tell us which rules of business and under which law this committee was formed. The government should not operate in this manner. A committee set up only to write reports is not acceptable. The committee\u2019s report should be presented in the Cabinet; it should be brought to the court for action,\u201d.<\/p>\n

He further remarked, \u201cIn this way, everyone will say that whatever they do, no one can question them. If the government directly says that they won\u2019t work, why should we do anything?\u201d Justice Athar Minallah questioned, \u201cAre state affairs being conducted in accordance with the constitution?\u201d Meanwhile, Justice Faiz Isa asked, \u201cBased on the TORs of the committee, it seems like you have exonerated everyone. Who was responsible for the Faizabad sit-in? The court has already provided the entire history. We asked, who was responsible for the sit-in?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief Justice of Pakistan emphasized that the government must take action to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in the future by learning from the past. When those who break the law are penalized, people would learn a lesson.<\/p>\n

Justice Faiz Isa asked, \u201cDoes the government genuinely want to act on the Faizabad sit-in case? Which law says that implementation on a decision will not occur when a review petition is pending? What the government did with those who came from Canada for sit-in and then returned there? Can people come from Canada to hold sit-ins here? No one will ask any questions? Can Pakistani citizens living in Canada come here to stage sit-ins? Other countries protect their citizens; in Pakistan, nobody cares. No matter what you do, sometimes in Dubai, sometimes in another country, our people are defaming both the nation and religion.\u201d<\/p>\n
