This is actually huge!
SC law clerks are the best and brightest young lawyers. They represent the future of our profession as a whole.
Kudos to them!
Former law clerks of the Supreme Court of Pakistan stand united against recent attacks on the Constitution and judicial independence. We respectfully urge the Honourable Judges to reject any attempts to undermine our democracy. #ProtectOurCourts #ProtectOurConstitution

The proposed constitutional amendments are the work of the devil. Lawyers lending whatever drafting skill they have (and not much was needed) to create something like this must feel like a surgeon who takes out the kidney of a crippled 14 year old for sale in some dark market.

The Judicial package is not aimed to reform the judiciary but to deform it. It is not being brought out of concern for the judiciary but out of contempt for the judiciary. They want to ensure that the judiciary dare not challenge the complete control of civilian space by establishment and for which no civilian institution can be left with any credibility and sanctity. The current ECP has no credibility given how they conducted elections, the current Govt has no credibility for claiming seats they never won, the current parliament was robbed this week of whatever little sanctity was left and now it's the turn of the judiciary. The most unfortunate part is that though the civilians are not holding the gun to their own head but they are happily pressing the trigger.

DG ISPR complaining about illegal cars operating in the border area and the movement of people and goods via the “soft border” with Afghanistan.
I wonder who manages the border and oversees the crossings via which all this smuggling happens…

The people vote despite painting your rival as a thief, a traitor and a fornicator. They vote in anger, they vote in hope, they vote in disgust. Writes @Jaferii

The people of Pakistan have spoken, loudly and clearly; any attempt to manipulate their mandate will result in unsustainable chaos.
The heat of the electoral process has passed; it is time to allow the country to heal.
The political leadership - Mian Nawaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari, Imran Khan, Maulana Fazal ur Rehman, and others - must rise above petty politics and work together to confront the immense challenges our country is facing; they need to recognise that history is not kind to selfish politicians.

We miss those who distinguish right from wrong with complete moral and intellectual clarity. Today pygmies pretend to be defenders of human rights and core values.

This madness didnt start today. Present episode of the destruction of the constitution & brutalisation of the population has been afoot for over a year. How many, supposedly left liberal progressives, have looked away in complicit silence or active support is painful to recount.

This is the most glaring example of a State within a State. Despite clear orders to register a FIR against CTD officials involved in the alleged encounter in which #BalachMolaBaksh was killed no FIR has been registered forcing the family to continue its protest. Balach was in custody of CTD at the time of his death. The custody was handed over to CTD via Court and he was due to be produced in Court but CTD claims he was killed by alleged firing of militants. While all Police officials involved in the alleged encounter remained safe, it was only Balach who got fatally shot. #JusticeForBalachBaksh dawn.com/news/1792885/sit-in…

I can’t watch anymore kakar after this.
This man has absolutely no depth to his answers. There is no logical basis for what he says. He is a fifth grader who swallowed a thesaurus over the summer break & came back to school to find himself sat in the headmaster’s seat.

This is the most absurd 8 minutes of television I have ever watched. Student asks Kakar about unconstitutional interference in elections, gives the example of recent local government elections in karachi where the majority coalition of JI and PTI still came up short against PPP..

A fantastic decision! Court martials of civilians was a General Ayub innovation & plainly unconstitutional and should have been barred long ago. The SC is having a good month!
Mustafa Zuberi retweeted
The SC gives the only legally correct decision possible here. Albeit after a very unreasonable delay since the august bandial retreat.
The ball is now quite literally in CJP Qazi’s court.
I’m also very interested to read the J Afridi dissent.

No democracy can thrive without the right to free expression.
Kidnapping citizens in the late hours of the night because they said some harsh truths that the powers that be do not like, is heinous, condemnable, and criminal.
🇵🇰’s descent into darkness continues to accelerate.

Happy Father’s Day! It’s Storytime.
My father is 78. In 1951, when he was 6, his father, a war hero who helped secure AJK territory for Pakistan, was sent to jail. There was a “special” trial. Planted evidence. Stolen lawyer’s fees. My Dadajan was sentenced to 7 years. 🧵1/10
