Disappeared on father’s advice, says PTI’s Zain Qureshi

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Zain Qureshi said on Monday that he had disappeared at the behest of his father.

In a video statement, Zain revealed that he was ordered to disappear by his father Shah Mehmood Qureshi.

“I could never think of voting for this constitutional amendment,” Zain stated, debunking reports of him supporting the tweaks. He labeled these claims “baseless propaganda.

“Misleading propaganda is being spread against me regarding my support for the constitutional amendment,” he said.

President Asif Ali Zardari today signed the 26th constitutional amendment bill today.

In this connection, a gazette  notification has been issued. After the signature of the president, now the 26th constitutional amendment has been implemented.

Earlier, after the Senate, the National Assembly also approved 26th constitutional amendments after the government managed to secure a two-thirds majority in both the houses.

During the passage of the first two clauses, 12 members of the opposition voted against it, but later the opposition members boycotted and walked out of the House.

The government required 224 votes to approve the 26th constitutional amendment in the House, but during the clause-by-clause approval of the amendment, 225 members voted in favour of the amendment.
