KARACHI: Denouncing several historical events for dismissing ‘democratic governments’, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday said that the law of necessity and Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO) inflicted immense damages to the democratic process to take roots in the country.
Addressing a seminar titled ‘The Future of Democracy in Pakistan’, Sharif said the courts granted power to amend the constitutions through the PCOs.
Launching into another diatribe against the judiciary, he said a segment of the judiciary has always supported the dictators in the country.
“No democratic government couldn’t complete its tenure except the preceding one,” he lamented.
Recalling marshal laws in the country, he said the courts validated the coups on basis of the doctrine of necessity.
“The country ruled by dictators for over three decades as not a single elected representative could complete the mandated five-year term,” he deplored.
