Senate Begins Deliberation on 27th Constitutional Amendment

The Senate session on Sunday officially began discussions on the 27th Constitutional Amendment. During the proceedings, opposition leaders expressed their strong opposition to the proposed changes and vowed to launch a protest movement against the amendment.

Senate Chairperson Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani opened the session with a tribute to the national poet Allama Iqbal, marking his birth anniversary.

Senator Ali Zafar of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spoke out against the amendment, reaffirming his party’s stance. He warned that altering the Constitution would be like “tampering with the foundation of a building,” adding that the nation, like a structure, was being weakened by such actions. He emphasized that these changes could undermine the very foundation of the country.
