QUETTA: Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Quddus Bizenjo, and members of the parliamentary committee proposed names of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader, Ali Hassan Zehri and Naseer Bizenjo as government’s nominees for the slot of the caretaker CM in the province.
The parliamentary committee of the opposition has already proposed Ali Mardan Domki and Mir Usman Badini as their candidates for the position of caretaker CM in Balochistan. The nomination of the caretaker CM was handed over to the parliamentary committee after the CM of Balochistan, Mir Quddus Bizenjo unexpectedly disappeared from the Balochistan House in Islamabad and refused to endorse the name of Ali Mardan Domki.
The parliamentary committee is yet to meet
The parliamentary committee is yet to meet and discuss the proposed names for the slot of CM ship in Balochistan. The parliamentary committee has only one day time to make a decision about the nomination of the CM Balochistan.
The parliamentary committee is not in a position to develop a consensus regarding the nomination of the caretaker chief minister in Balochistan, one of the members of the government’s parliamentary committee said. He requested anonymity since he was not authorized to speak to the media in this regard.
ECP is likely to finalize the name of Ali Mardan Domki
He mentioned that the matter is likely to be handed over to the election commission of Pakistan to nominate the caretaker CM in the province.
Sources in both committees said that Ali Mardan Domki is likely to be endorsed by the election commission of Pakistan. Mr. Domki was earlier proposed by the government’s committee. Now, after opposition from the Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Quddus Bizenjo, Ali Mardan Domki has been recommended by the opposition’s parliamentary committee.
Caretaker government is nonsense & should not be established. This nonsense should not be a part of democracy and parliamentary system.
The Election Commission of Pakistan should be brought under the ambit of law and should function like any other government department.
In the current environment, the Election Commissioner has become the ultra-executive of the state and considers himself as the Supreme Chief Justice of Pakistan, which is against the Constitution of Pakistan.
The Election Commission and the Supreme Court have violated the agreement between the citizens and the state by not protecting the constitution. Now is the time to raise the issue of holding elections in Pakistan before the United Nations. As has happened in the lawless states of Africa and South America – Haiti, Congo, etc.
