Netizens react hilariously to Ali Muhammad Khan’s post on 63-A verdict

Social media users criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senator Ali Muhammad Khan for a tweet he posted after the Supreme Court’s October 3 decision to withdraw the 2022 verdict on the interpretation of Article 63-A of the constitution.

In a major relief to the government, the Supreme Court on Thursday accepted a review petition against its 2022 verdict regarding the defection clause under Article 63-A.

In its 2022 verdict, the SC had ruled that votes of elected members of the parliament that are against the parliamentary party’s decision should not be counted in voting.

The PTI senator took to X (formerly Twitter), to post, “Horse Trading 👎”.

Social media was taken aback at the short post. “Ali Khan sb; I urge you to take action and lead protests instead of focusing on tweets only! You were once looked upto by so many; now your allegiance is being questioned?! Please stand up for the people before people eventually stand up against all!”

Another PTI-affiliated account commented: “Taqreer ready rakhen janab.”

One X user quoted his tweet, writing, “Qazi just reversed his decision after this tweet.”

And one user wrote, “Is say ziada mehnat tu yeh baal straight krnay main lga deta hai.”
