On March 31, the home minister told parliament that the CEC had violated his oath and breached the constitution by distributing oath forms for members of the Constitution Reform Council.
“Under which provision can the president convene a session of the Constitution Reform Council?” he questioned, adding that the issue of an oath would arise only if the constitution had been amended, the oath format for members defined, and the individual responsible for administering it clearly identified.
“I could have asked the CEC who authorised him to issue such oath forms, but since the CEC is not present in parliament, that question can’t be raised,” he said.
Citing several constitutional articles, Salahuddin described last year’s Constitution Reform Implementation Order-2025 as “legally void”.
