A petition was filed in the Supreme Court (SC) against the post of deputy prime minister on Thursday, also seeking to stop Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi from functioning as deputy prime minister. Syed Mehmood Akhtar Naqvi filed the petition and argued that according to the Constitution of Pakistan, there was no room for any such position, insisting that the court dismiss the post. Naqvi also said that increasing the number of advisors from five to seven was also against the constitution.
