The bill was earlier passed by Senate
ISLAMABAD – The National Assembly session has commenced to pass the long-awaited 26th Constitutional Amendment Bill, which the Senate approved with a two-thirds majority.Federal Minister for Law Azam Nazeer Tarar presented the 26th constitutional amendment in the Upper House and subsequently moved a motion for its approval, which was passed with a two-thirds majority in the House, with 65 members voting in favor of the amendment, while four members opposed it.
Speaking in the House, Law Minister Tarar said all poitical parties, including the opposition, were consulted over the constitutional amendment bill. He added that the parliamentary committee was given the authority to block any nomination. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court regarding this, and the 19th Amendment was hastily introduced, changing the composition of the commission, resulting in members leaning toward a particular institution.
He said in case of massive disagreement which is evident in the case of the so-called constitutional package, the whole nation would bear huge loss.Kidnapping the members of the esteemed parliament and their families is not a service to democracy but rather attack on it,” he said.The PPP leader said the passage of the 26th amendment bill would further strengthen the charter of democracy.
He said enough debate and talks have happened over the long-awaited bill and now it should be passed.The ANP president also complained to Senator Zafar - who spoke before him - that he never gave one suggestion in parliamentary committees' sessions.Earlier, the cabinet approved the draft of 26th constitutional amendment which was agreed to by the PPP and the JUI-F.
