Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and other judges have made statements against the parliament declaring secularism a threat. The issue at question is not secularism, but the 18th Amendment and appointment of judges. More broadly, the question is whether parliament is the proper body to make changes to the Constitution. But rather than answer these legitimate questions, the Chief Justice appears to be using straw men to scare the public. As for the petitions challenging the 18th Amendment, Article 239(5) of our constitution clearly says, “No amendment of the Constitution shall be called in question in any court on any ground whatsoever.” Thus it makes no sense to waste the time of the nation by hearing arguments for or against it. These petitions should be dispensed with as soon as possible so that everyone can focus on other, more immediate, greater tasks at hand.
