Raza Rabbani Urges Intra-Institutional Harmony in Pakistan

In a recent statement, former Senate chairman Mian Raza Rabbani highlighted the importance of a comprehensive intra-institutional dialogue in Pakistan. He stressed the significance of establishing harmony among state institutions to prevent encroachment on each other's jurisdictions. Rabbani expressed concern over the public display of contradictions among institutions, which he believes is negatively impacting the country's political system.

Rabbani, a prominent leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), pointed out that Pakistan is currently facing multiple crises, including internal contradictions within the ruling elite. He attributed this conflict to historical factors and alleged that the establishment in Pakistan has historically sought support from the judiciary, leading to a polarized political atmosphere.

Highlighting the importance of upholding the Constitution, Rabbani emphasized the need for each institution to commit to respecting the separation of powers outlined in the country's legal framework. He criticized the lack of true implementation of the Constitution, stating that it is often manipulated to justify unconstitutional actions by one institution against another.

Rabbani warned that the erosion of the rule of law in Pakistan has led to a situation where there is a 'rule by law' instead. This, he argued, has undermined the constitutional foundations of the state, resulting in structural and political instability.

Former Senate chairman Mian Raza Rabbani's call for a grand intra-institutional dialogue in Pakistan underscores the urgent need for state institutions to work together harmoniously and respect each other's boundaries. By upholding the principles of the Constitution and refraining from unconstitutional actions, Pakistan can pave the way for a more stable and prosperous future.
