This Day That Age
Pakistan's Law Minister, Mr. H.S. Suhrawardy, declared in Karachi on April 23 that the imposition of martial law would be one of the three alternatives left to the Government to resolve the present constitutional impasse if the proposed Constituent Convention was not set up at an early date. The other two alternatives, according to Mr. Suhrawardy, would be: A revolution after which they would start afresh and legalise such laws as the new revolutionaries might wish to legalise, and a civil dictatorship with military support. Clarifying the Government's stand, he said: "Surely we do not want any of these alternatives, neither a revolution nor a dictatorship nor martial law. By proposing a Constituent Convention to legalise laws rendered invalid as a result of the Federal Court judgment, the Government has placed before the country a constitutional method of solving the present impasse and ushering in democracy. In case the people refuse to cooperate with the Government in setting up the Convention it would mean they want these laws to be legalised through dictatorship or martial law or revolution."
