Khursheed Shah terms Article 62, 63 as black laws of Constitution

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly, Syed Khursheed Shah has said that no politician is happy with the disqualification of Khawaja Asif and adding that Articles 62 and 63 are the black laws which were included by dictator in the constitution.

This he said while talking to media persons on Friday outside the National Assembly. Shah said that those who were favoring the policies of dictator Zia are now the victims of these laws which were included by their boss in the past.

He said that it would have been better if the matter was resolved in parliament but unfortunately some politicians and government drag the issue into court.

Earlier on Thursday, Khawaja Asif was disqualified by the Islamabad High Court under Article 62 (1)(f) of the Constitution for failing to disclose his employment in a UAE company and the monthly salary he was receiving.

Regarding the budget for fiscal year 2018-19 which the government is set to present today, Shah said, “The government should not present a budget for more than four months.”

The opposition parties have decided to lodge a strong protest in the National Assembly during the budget session today.
