Election Commission of Pakistan Ne 139 Lawmakers Ko Tax Returns Na Karne Par Suspend Kar Diya
Islamabad: Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) ne aik aham iqdaam uthatay huey 139 Members of Parliament (MPs) aur Provincial Assemblies (MPAs) ko unke tax returns jama na karwanay ki wajah se suspend kar diya hai. Ye iqdaam Pakistan ke qanoon ke mutabiq hai, jahan har numaende ko apni financial information saalana base par disclose karna zaroori hai. Is suspend kiye gaye lawmakers mein National Assembly ke members, Senate ke members aur tamam provincial assemblies ke members shaamil hain. ECP ki taraf se jari kardah notification ke mutabiq in lawmakers ko unke salana tax returns jamah karanay mein nakami par suspend kiya gaya hai.
Suspension Ki Wajuhaat
ECP ke mutabiq, in 139 lawmakers ko is liye suspend kiya gaya hai kyunkay woh Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 ke tahat apni salana income tax returns jamah karwanay mein nakam rahay thay. Qanoon ke mutabiq, har MP aur MPA ko apne assets aur income ko disclose karna zaroori hai. Jo log aisa karne mein nakam rehtay hain, un par suspension aur jurmane samait mukhtalif qanooni karwai ki ja sakti hai. Ye iqdaam ECP ke is irade ko zahir karta hai ke woh qanoon ki pabandi ko yaqeeni banae ga aur election process mein shafafiyat ko qaim rakhay ga.
ECP ke ek official ne bataya, “Hum ne lawmakers ko tax returns jama karwanay ke liye kai baar notifications bheji thin. Magar afsos ki baat hai ke in 139 members ne is per koi tawajo nahi di.” Suspension in lawmakers ko apni seat par bethne aur parliamentary activities mein hissa lenay se rokti hai. Unhe unke tax returns jamah karanay aur apni position dubara hasil karne ke liye kuch waqt diya gaya hai. ECP ke mutabiq agar woh is waqt ke andar apni tax returns jamah karwa detey hain tou inki suspension ko khatam kar dia jaega.
Lawmakers Ki Zimmedari Aur Qanoon Ki Pabandi
Is suspension ne Pakistani awam ke samne lawmakers ki qanoon ki pabandi aur apni zimmedari nibhane ke barey mein sawalaat kharay kar diye hain. Pakistan mein tax evasion aik bada masla hai, aur is tarah ke iqdaamat mulk ki financial health ko barhaane mein madad kar sakte hain. ECP ka yah iqdaam shafaafiyat aur jawabdehi ke baray mein aik mazboot message deta hai, aur ye bhi ke qanoon sabke liye barabar hai.
Is waqeye ne yeh bhi bataya hai ke election commission apni zimmedari ko kitni sanjidgi se nibha raha hai aur woh kisi bhi politician ke khilaf koi qanooni karwai karne mein koi hichkichahat nahi rakhta. Awaam ki umeedain yeh hain ke ECP is tarah ke sakht iqdaamat uthata rahe ga aur Pakistani awam ke tax ko sahee jagah par istemal karne mein madad karega.
Ye suspend lawmakers awam ke numaende hain, aur unhe mulk ke qawaneen ki pairwi karni chahiye aur har qisam ke financial misconduct se bachna chahiye. Inki suspension na sirf unke liye balkeh un awam ke liye bhi sharmindigi ka sabab hai jinho ne unhen vote diya tha.
Political Reaction Aur Aage Ki Raah
ECP ke is iqdaam par mukhtalif political parties aur awam ne mix reaction diya hai. Kuch logon ne is iqdaam ko sraha hai aur kaha hai ke ye qanoon ki baladasti ki taraf aik qadam hai. Wohi kuch siyasi jamaaten is iqdaam ko siyasi naqabil-e-bardasht karar de rahi hain. Unka kehna hai ke ECP ko apni karwai me impartial aur fair hona chahiye.
Is waqeye ke baad, ECP aur tamam political parties ko shafaafiyat aur accountability ko
