Pakistan Presidential System
Pak Minister backs ‘Islamic presidential’ system
Islamabad: Pakistan's Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Ali Muhammad Khan, has backed the “Islamic” Presidential System and said the nation never experienced a true presidential system in true spirit.
In an interview, he said the presidential system is being discussed on social media alone but it has not come up for a discussion at the cabinet or government level so far, reports The News International.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) minister said the country had never experienced the Islamic Presidential System.
Both the parliamentary and presidential systems have their own merits and demerits but the government has not taken any decision for holding a referendum for the Islamic Presidential System. It is the people who will decide about the system, he added.
He further said that if the Islamic Presidential System gets its way in Pakistan, it would be through polls in a democratic manner as Ayub Khan, Ziaul Haq and Pervez Musharraf were not elected through the democratic process.
