Former President Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Asma Jahangir on Thursday said that the atmosphere of confrontation will arise again, if courts change the constitution in the name of interpretation. Talking to the media, she said that chanting slogans outside the Supreme Court (SC) is not a healthy sign.
She said people were no longer willing to tolerate the government. She said the tenure of the parliament should be fixed for four years and after that elections should be held. “If the courts claim they are final authority and rulers pronounce they have full powers, it is not democratic behaviour. We have to wait and see how the court interprets the constitution,” she added. Asma said that people are getting tired of new clashes amongst institutions while their own condition gets worse.
