Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar on Monday said that there is no deadlock of any kind over the 27th Constitutional Amendment, which is being introduced to promote good governance and strengthen relations between the federation and the provinces.
\nTalking to media outside Parliament House, the minister stated that the required votes for the passage of the amendment are now complete, leaving no room for ambiguity. He described it as a positive constitutional development, emphasizing that the amendment is being introduced in light of the prevailing circumstances.
\n He said following extensive deliberations aimed at bolstering Pakistan\u2019s defense and advancing its military strength, substantial and well-considered amendments have been introduced.
\nHe underscored that heads of state worldwide including those in the United States are granted immunity, and thus extending the same privilege to Pakistan\u2019s head of state poses no concern.
\nThe federal minister praised the prime minister\u2019s decision not to seek immunity, calling it a commendable move. Acting on the prime minister\u2019s directive, the committee has withdrawn the relevant clause, reflecting his belief that he remains answerable to the people.
\nThe idea of establishing constitutional courts has long been existed worldwide. In Pakistan, this discussion dates back to the Charter of Democracy, where the PPP, PML-N, and ANP jointly demanded the creation of such courts. After decades of deliberation, the debate has reached its logical conclusion, paving the way for the establishment of constitutional courts in the country. The Constitution, as a living document, continues to evolve adapting to the needs of justice and the aspirations of the people.
\nHe stated that following the 26th Amendment, the judiciary\u2019s caseload declined, saving valuable time for litigants. Although constitutional cases are fewer in number, they consume more than half of the courts\u2019 time. Therefore, this development marks a positive step toward ensuring the swift and efficient delivery of justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
