Now, the detailed judgement, addressing almost all of the criticisms aimed at it, has been issued by the Supreme Court, clarifying to the general public and the detractors what non-partisan legal experts understood at the time of the short order. It is hoped that the detailed judgement is clear enough for all parties, and that keeping the spirit of the judgement, which stresses a strong opposition and a functioning government, this chapter can be closed and those in power will shift their priorities to the pressing needs of the country. For PTI, it must stop looking to drag institutions in politics through constant referencing. For the coalition government, looking to go on the offensive against PTI leaders and dragging the matter is only going to fan the flames higher. The political void in governance and uncertainty which was caused by this unfortunate political crisis affected every single citizen of Pakistan, all of whom were caught in the turmoil that loomed large in the country, and it is time that it is put to rest.
