According to a report from ARY News, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday advised President Asif Ali Zardari to mark the 26th Constitutional Amendment Bill into law.
Following its prosperous passing through both houses of Parliament, the Prime Minister had already approved the recommendations on the Constitutional Amendment Bill.
The 26th Constitutional Amendment Bill that has been passed in the senate, with a two-thirds majority on Sunday, received pushback from the opposition, mainly from Imran Khan‘s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf ( PTI ) which held various protests alleging that the bill would undermine the judiciary’s powers.
The bill was introduced in the Senate by Azam Nazeer Tarar, the secretary of law and justice, and it received 65 seats. Four people cast ballots opposed to the act.
27 amendments to various reports of the law have been proposed as part of the bill. The amendment suggested by Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl ( JUI-F) has been incorporated. JUI-F had before voiced opposition to the bill, but the ruling party eventually persuaded him.
The Pakistan National Assembly did then hear the legislation.
According to ARY News, the PTI party’s political committee announced earlier on Sunday that it would no longer participate in the election on constitutional modifications in both legislative chambers.
The commission also declares its protests against PTI individuals who participate in the election process in the official statement. The PTI Political Committee has asserted that the party currently in power lacks the social, political, or democratic legitimacy to amend the constitution.
