Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Irfan Siddiqui stressed on Wednesday that the federal government’s proposed constitutional amendments are not aimed at any specific individual.
Speaking to media persons after meeting Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Senator Siddiqui said: “Any constitutional amendment has nothing to do with Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa or Justice Mansoor Ali Shah.”
Senator Siddiqui said that the issue surrounding the constitutional amendments will be clarified in the next two weeks.
The PML-N leader further said that the JUI-F chief backed the formation of constitutional court, however, he said Fazl did not want anything in the proposed judiciary centric constitutional package that is against the Constitution.
“Things will improve in the next two weeks,” Siddiqui said, stressing that Fazl does not have reservations over the amendments and he only has reservations on a few minor matters which are being looked into by his team.
He said that the constitutional amendments will be passed if the ruling coalition secured two-thirds majority in parliament. “There is no pressure regarding the amendments as this is an 18-year-old agenda,” he added.
