A wave of optimism swept across Pakistan’s political landscape with the Supreme Court's landmark decision on reserved seats for women and minorities. This ruling, awarding the PTI its rightful share, transcends immediate politics and stands as a victory for democracy and rule of law. The Supreme Court has rectified the mistake made by denying the PTI its right of reserved seats.
This verdict sets a crucial precedent for future elections, emphasizing that political rights cannot be arbitrarily removed. The true triumph lies in affirming the judiciary as a pillar of democracy, showcasing its commitment to the constitution and fair treatment for all. A robust judiciary bolsters democratic norms, promotes constitutionalism, and strengthens public trust in democratic institutions. This judgment demonstrates Pakistan's democratic strength and the judiciary’s role in upholding justice -- and urges all stakeholders to uphold democratic values, fostering a more inclusive, just and equitable democracy for all citizens.
