Pakistan is heading toward elemental changes in its political system. If you examine the recent Constitutional amendments, you can see some desperate moves to ensure that the underlying structure of the current hybrid regime is sustained. And you’ll also notice some subtle and not-so-subtle attempts to undermine the superior judiciary. So, let’s assume the current hybrid regime remains what it is. Let’s also assume that the superior judiciary may not find enough constitutional room to undo anything that is done to solidify the structure of hybrid governance. Wouldn’t that further shrink space for the political opposition and lead to further suppression of the rights of the weak and the marginalised and enhanced controls on mainstream and social media?
