The 27th Constitutional Amendment is a “milestone for national unity,” said PM Shehbaz.

It is a historic day for national unity, according to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, because the 27th Constitutional Amendment passed.

He told the National Assembly on Wednesday that the dream of setting up constitutional courts, which was written down in the Charter of Democracy, had now come true.

The prime minister thanked the lawmakers from the bottom of his heart and praised them for backing what he called a historic reform.

The prime minister added, “After the Marka-e-Haq, when we honoured General Asim Munir as Field Marshal, the whole country was happy.” This was in reference to the fact that the Army Chief General Asim Munir was given the title of Field Marshal. What is wrong with putting it in the Constitution now? This is how countries celebrate their heroes.

He went on to say that Pakistan is now highly respected around the world, which was not possible earlier.

With two-thirds of the vote, the National Assembly passes the 27th Constitutional Amendment.

Shehbaz Sharif said again that he was against anything that could damage the federation. He said, “The Kalabagh Dam may be in the national interest, but I cannot support it if it puts the federation at risk.”

He stressed that his goal is in line with Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s and that there will be no changes to the 18th Amendment or NFC Award without agreement. “We will sit down together and talk things out,” he stated.

The prime minister further said that he thinks Benazir Bhutto’s soul will find peace tonight because Pakistan has achieved exceptional honour in both military and diplomatic areas.

It is interesting that the National Assembly enacted the 27th Constitutional Amendment with a two-thirds majority—234 votes in favour and 4 against—while PTI members left the meeting in protest.
