Judiciary Pakistan’s internal issue: US

Washington—The United States has said that the decision by Pakistan’s two major parties, PPP and PML-N, to reinstate judges dismissed by President Pervez Musharraf during last year’s emergency was for the country’s political system to resolve.
“I think it is completely their prerogative to put forward a political initiative. I think they’re on the pathway to forming a government now and likely discussing the platform for that government. “And that is - those decisions, what’s in the platform and who’s in the government and what sort of power-sharing arrangements there are within the Pakistani political system, entirely up to Pakistanis within the confines of their laws and their constitution,” spokesman Sean Mccormack said.
“Those are entirely their decisions to make. And our stated and unstated reason concerning this has entirely to do with the fact that this is Pakistani democracy and these are Pakistani laws and the Pakistani constitution, and we’re not in the business of interpreting their laws or their constitution for them. “Any of the actions that they take within their political system and any of the outcomes of those actions are going to be generated entirely by Pakistanis, not by US,” Mccormack added. The PPP and PML-N had on Sunday agreed to reinstate all the judges sacked by Musharraf within a month of assuming power.—Agencies
