PTI Scared Of Rightful Demand For Full Bench, Says Sherry.

ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan People's Party Vice President Sherry Rehman yesterday said that the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf was hypocritical. Speaking to journalists here, she said the PTI was scared of the rightful demand for a full bench of the Supreme Court to hear the Punjab Chief Minister case.

'We are only seeking a full bench of the Supreme Court to hear the merits of the case. Parliament's rulings as per the constitution cannot be interpreted two ways,' she said

Sherry Rehman, who is also the Federal Minister for Climate Change, said the coalition parties in their plea requested the apex court's larger bench to circumvent discrimination during the proceedings of the Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-e-Azam) leader Chaudhary Parvez Elahi's petition challenging the deputy speaker's ruling. She said there were contradictory standards of the authorities on the issue of letter of PML-Q President Chaudhary Shujat Hussain presented at the Punjab Assembly.

'There is no doubt about it that the party leader is the parliamentary leader of any political party at the floor of the house. He is the one who nominates his party's parliamentary leader in the Assembly,' Sherry Rehman said. She explained that the parliamentary leaders implement the directions on legislation guided by the party chiefs and direct voting in the elections of the house.
