The chairman of PTI asserts the government will not receive support for constitutional amendments.
The chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Barrister Gohar Khan, has said that the government will not be able to get the party’s members to approve constitutional changes.
Barrister Gohar Khan said on that no government has had the two-thirds majority needed to change the constitution since 1984.
PTI chairman called it an attack on the judiciary and questioned the government’s timing for bringing the constitutional revisions, especially with reference to the proposed modifications pertaining to judicial transfers.
With these changes, the government “seeks to isolate the judiciary, without having the mandate to do so.”
Barrister Gohar Khan went on to say that PTI has not received a draft of the suggested revisions. He said that the PTI had asked for a written draft, which the government did not have, during the briefing given to the parliamentary committee on Saturday by Federal Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar.
The PTI chairman contended that the administration is misguided about the level of support for these revisions, asserting that even government members will not vote for the measure when it comes up for a vote.
In relation to the event at KP House and the purported disappearance of Ali Amin Gandapur, Barrister Gohar Khan disclosed that he was informed that police had encircled the KP House and had blocked all routes with containers. He made it to the area despite the significant police presence
Party members began to wonder about Gandapur’s potential kidnapping when he questioned the whereabouts of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister, who was missing for six hours during the incident.
Families and journalists were gathered at KP House, according to PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Khan. He did meet with the police and officials, but he was unable to meet Ali Amin Gandapur.
Given that the Chief Minister’s whereabouts were unknown, he questioned how a political party could put forth a story. According to the PTI chairman, the police had no right to enter KP House since it is a diplomatic residence. Rather, they ought to have awaited the release of Ali Amin Gandapur.
Barrister Gohar Khan stated in closing that security concerns meant Ali Amin Gandapur required a secure way out of Islamabad. As he left the Red Zone, he wisely took the safe way and decided not to reveal his whereabouts for security concerns, Gohar continued.
