Draft constitutional revisions have not yet been finalized, according to PPP’s Naveed Qamar.
Speaking in the National Assembly this afternoon, Naveed Qamar said even PPP has reservations on the proposed constitutional amendments draft being shared on the media.
He said the proposed amendments to the constitution of Pakistan will move the country forward in the right direction. Qamar said discussions on the constitutional package should be held in a congenial environment. He urged the Opposition to sit together and work for the betterment of the country.
The PPP leader said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf thinks that ‘strong’ Parliament will benefit the PPP and the PML-N, and thinks ‘strong’ judiciary will benefit them.
“For God’s sake stop making everything politicize.”
Earlier, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar said the process of talks has been started with the Parliamentary Parties in the Senate and National Assembly on the constitutional package. He said it will be our effort to evolve consensus on the document.
Azam Nazeer Tarar requested the opposing parties to make constructive suggestions rather than unfair attacks, promising to take them into consideration. He stated that helping those who have suffered over the past roughly 70 years should be our main goal.
The Parliament has the authority to enact laws that comply with the framework of the Constitution through the Law Minister. According to him, the suggested package called for the creation of a judicial commission in accordance with the spirit of the 18th Amendment and included a proposal to give the committee the authority to assess the performance of the high court justices.
