Constitutional amendment bill ‘likely’ to be tabled in NA today
ISLAMABAD: Sources have indicated that the government’s proposed constitutional amendment bill will likely be presented during the National Assembly session scheduled for today (Sunday).
The National Assembly and Senate sessions are set to begin at 4pm and 7pm, respectively. The bill is expected to be introduced in the lower house of parliament as part of a supplementary agenda.
According to reliable sources, the government plans to establish a constitutional court and make changes to Article 63-A of the Constitution, which addresses lawmakers’ defection.
Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar also mentioned this in the Senate on the same day, stating that the “Constitutional Bill” aligns with the provisions of the Charter of Democracy (COD) supported by all political parties, including the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
