In the wake of President Arif Alvi’s unexpected disclosures regarding the Official Secrets (Amendment) Bill, 2023, and the Pakistan Army (Amendment) Bill, 2023, a political storm has brewed as the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have both called for his resignation.

Faisal Karim Kundi, spokesperson for the PPP, expressed disappointment over the incident, highlighting that President Alvi’s apology came a full day after media reports surfaced about the matter. This delay in response added fuel to the controversy, casting doubts on the effectiveness of the president’s office.
Notably, Ishaq Dar, a prominent figure from the PML-N and former finance minister, took to social media to express disbelief at Alvi’s statement. Dar advocated for Alvi’s resignation, citing ethical considerations and suggesting that the president’s failure to manage his office in accordance with established rules warranted such action.
