Sunni Ittehad Council challenges non-allocation of reserved seats

The Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) has filed a petition challenging the non-allocation of reserved seats for women and minorities in the National Assembly. The petition is currently being heard by a full bench of the Supreme Court (SC). During the proceedings, a letter from the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) was referenced, which supports the SIC's claim to the reserved seats in the National Assembly.

The SIC's petition raises important questions about the representation of women and minorities in the country's highest legislative body. The issue of reserved seats is crucial for ensuring diversity and inclusivity in the decision-making process of the National Assembly. The support from the ECP further strengthens the SIC's case and highlights the significance of addressing this matter promptly.

As the Supreme Court continues to deliberate on the petition filed by the Sunni Ittehad Council, the outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for the representation of marginalized groups in the National Assembly. It is essential for the authorities to uphold the principles of equality and fairness in the allocation of reserved seats to ensure a more inclusive and representative parliamentary system.
