The Islamabad High Court (IHC) will hear a petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) today against the appointment of Ishaq Dar as deputy prime minister, ARY News has reported.
IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq will hear the plea filed by PTI’s Sher Afzal Marwat.
In the submitted petition, the famous PTI leader said that the appointment of Dar as deputy prime minister is illegal because the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader is also working as the foreign minister.
“The office of the deputy prime minister is unconstitutional, and there is no provision in the Constitution of 1973 that allows the Prime Minister to appoint someone as his deputy,” the PTI leader added.
