NA passed a resolution.

A meeting comes a day after the National Assembly passed a resolution rejecting the three-member Supreme Court bench's "minority" verdict on Punjab elections and made it binding on PM Shehbaz and his cabinet not to implement the decision.

It noted that the National Assembly on March 28 in a resolution had called on the Supreme Court to avoid "interfering" in political matters, it also observed that multiple sections of the society had repeatedly urged the apex court to form a full court bench but their calls were ignored and only one political party was heard in the case.

The resolution also expressed concerns over the supreme court's circular setting aside the verdict of a three-- member bench on suo motu cases. It also raised alarms over the formation of a controversy bench and it's decision to quickly close the case that prompted Justice Qazi Faez Isa to suspend "suo motu" hearings.

"This house considers the holding of general elections at the same time throughout the country as per the prevailing procedure mentioned in the constitution and law for political and economic stability in the country as the solution to all the problems," noted the resolution.

The resolution also demanded the formation of a full court to review the"wrong interpretation " of Article 63-A.
