NA-125

This refers to the news report, ‘PML-N to challenge Saad’s unseating in SC’ (May 7). The PML-N thinks that this will set a bad precedent and they must get the tribunal’s decision reversed from the apex court rather than going for a by-election.
Perhaps the PML-N is not very confident about winning the seat. So far so good, but the PML-N has only examined legal lacunas in the judgement of the election tribunal. It seems to have failed to realise that in this case the election tribunal has given a verdict against the lower judiciary, ie, ROs and POs. The PML-N should have gone for a by-election. It would have reasserted its claims of popularity.
