Amended nomination forms: Court upholds commission’s initiativeBy Nasir IqbalISLAMABAD, March 14: The Supreme Court upheld on Thursday the Election Commission of Pakistan’s right to get its new, biting nomination forms printed. Traditional politicians and major parties have severely criticised the changes made in the form as being too intrusive and too personal. The court said the nomination paper was strictly in accordance with the law and the Constitution and there should be no objection to it. | ||||||

Pride and remorse before NA’s demiseBy Raja AsgharISLAMABAD, March 14: With hailstones and rain pounding its building, the National Assembly talked a lot with both pride and remorse on Thursday before taking two days of rest ahead of its weekend demise. And its prorogation after a 25-day last session, which marked the first time in Pakistan’s history of a lower house completing its five-year term under a civilian dispensation, left some hot potatoes, like carving a new province out of the present Punjab, for its successor to handle. | ||||||

Speaking at her last press conference at the Foreign Office in which she recapped the achievements of PPP government on the foreign policy front and the challenges confronted by it, Ms Khar mentioned her “deep disappointment” over Indian leadership’s handling of the situation after incidents along the Line of Control in January, which led to renewed tensions between the two countries and gave an impression of another pause in the normalisation process. | ||||||
