Prime Minister Advisor for Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah has confirmed that the government held informal talks with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) over the proposed constitutional amendments draft.
Appearing on the Geo News programme ‘Geo Pakistan’, the PM’s Advisor remarked that the PTI leadership also envisaged that amendments would bring better results.
He said, “The agreed amendments can be approved in the first week of October,” while the rest will be passed after securing a one-third majority in parliament.
Responding to the formation of the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC), Sanaullah said, “Apex court judges are disturbed” by the number of pending cases. FCC will hear cases regarding constitutional petitions,” which would significantly elevate the judiciary’s burden.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister (CM) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Ali Amin Gandapur said that approval of proposed amendments is a far distinct thing; they (the government) wouldn’t even dare to present it in parliament.
He said, “These amendments are an attack on Pakistan’s democracy, and PTI won’t let them win.”
