PML-N leader and former federal minister Rana Sanaullah has stated that the government has the authority to issue a declaration to ban any political party under Article 17 of the Constitution. Speaking on a private TV program, Rana Sanaullah explained that if the cabinet approves the declaration, it will be submitted to the Supreme Court within 15 days. If the Supreme Court concurs with the declaration, the party in question will be banned. Sanaullah emphasized that the government has the same rights as the PTI, and it is within their constitutional rights to present their case and strive for success. He added that there is no harm in the government attempting to secure its position if it can constitutionally acquire seats.
