It is extraordinary when people who otherwise have nothing to do with constitution and law use fundamental rights to forward their own narrow agenda. Article 19-A was introduced by the legislature through the 18th Amendment to create transparency in matters of public importance. Similarly Article 14 is a longstanding fundamental right promising dignity of life. Ironically Hafez Saeed- who does not believe in democracy or fundamental rights- has filed a petition through A K Dogar in the Lahore High Court.
Jamatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed has moved a constitutional petition in the Lahore High Court seeking implementation of a resolution unanimously passed by parliament against the US drone attacks in Pakistan.
Hafiz Saeed filed the petition on Tuesday through his counsel AK Dogar and also pleaded that the federal government might be directed to make public the ‘secret deals’ with the US as under Article 19-A of the Constitution every citizen of Pakistan had the right to have access to information.
