Islamabad, Sep 25: The Pakistan Foreign Office has said that the ongoing joint military exercise between India and the UK in Ladakh is illegitimate.

Pakistan has lodged a formal protest with the Government of both the countries, as Ladakh is a part of the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir, Foreign Office (FO) spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam told reporters.

“This is not a legitimate activity because Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognised disputed territory and more than anybody else the British should be aware of it,” Aslam said.

Islamabad, Sep 25: Pakistan’s Supreme Court (SC) has observed that the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) could not act as court and strike down any law.

The nine-member bench of the SC headed by Justice Rana Bhagwandas was hearing the Constitutional petitions challenging President Pervez Musharraf’s dual offices. The apex court dismissed three of them.

The bench asked Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) Malik Qayyum why the disqualification clauses meant for a parliamentarian’s election could not be applied to the presidential poll.
