ISLAMABAD: Resignations tendered by two federal ministers from MQM have been challenged in Supreme Court (SC). Challenging the resignations through a petition filed under article 184(3), Shahid Orakzai, the petitioner has taken the plea that ministers from MQM cannot extend resignations under the directives of a person who is not citizen of Pakistan.
The two federal ministers including Dr Farooq Sattar and Babar Ghauri have violated the sovereignty of Pakistan by giving resignations, he pleaded. The court should also inquire if Altaf Hussain was holding any office of any political party under political parties order, he said.
The petitioner requested the court to intervene in the matter immediately. The court should maintain that both the federal ministers had violated the sovereignty of Pakistan by tendering resignations. Therefore both of them should be declared disqualified for any office and the allowances and perks allowed to these two ministers withdrawn immediately.
