NA, other institutions should stand with Supreme Court: Bilawal

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday said the National Assembly and other institutions of the country should stand with the Supreme Court on its decision to acquit Asia Bibi.

“The Supreme Court is our national institutional. I think that the National Assembly along with all other institutions should stand with the Supreme,” Bilawal said while speaking to reporters.

The PPP chairman added that the country could not be run from the streets and had to be run according to the Constitution and rule of law. “I am waiting for the day when the country is run through the rule of law and not threats.”

Bilawal also spoke on the national action plan and how the previous and past governments had failed to implement it. 

Earlier, the Supreme Court of Pakistan acquitted Asia Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to death over blasphemy allegations. The apex court cleared Asia Bibi of all blasphemy allegations and ordered her immediate release.
