ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmaker Amir Dogar confirmed that the party has received a draft of proposed constitutional amendments during a recent committee meeting.
He noted that the National Assembly session initially planned for yesterday would be postponed until after the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, delaying any further discussions on constitutional amendments until then.
Dogar stated that PTI will consult its political committee and senior leadership on the draft and hold additional talks on the matter. He criticized the draft presented by the government, claiming it contained significant ambiguities and lacked clarity.
Dogar mentioned that both the People’s Party and the federal government had shared their amendment drafts with the committee, and further sessions are planned to reach a consensus, though the process will take time.
The draft development follows comments from PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan, who voiced skepticism that the government could secure PTI members’ support for the amendments. The PTI chairman also condemned the timing of the government’s proposed amendments, particularly those concerning judicial transfers, labeling them as an attack on the judiciary.
