ISLAMABAD: Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar on Tuesday said the Supreme Court’s verdict in the election delay case, will further fuel constitutional and political crises in the country, ARY News reported.
The Supreme Court today declared the ECP’s order postponing the provincial assembly elections until October 8 as “unconstitutional” and ordered the government to release Rs21 billion funds for elections in Punjab by April 10.
