If we accept his lordship’s remark as the complete truth, then it becomes natural to expect that complete justice shall be in complete compliance with the complete truth. The Supreme Court, seemingly after adopting judgments of the ECP and Pesha­war High Court, has simultane­ously set them aside, how? The government’s announce­ment to ban PTI as a political par­ty has given birth to yet another political controversy. We must also recognize that the government is not the decid­ing authority to ban a political party in Pakistan. The govern­ment can only recommend the imposition of a ban on a politi­cal party to the Supreme Court.
