No smooth sailing this time! As the government has planned to convene a joint session of parliament to amend the constitution for giving a legal cover to 28 members elected to the national and provincial assemblies when the Election Commission was incomplete, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided not to vote in favor of the amendment. Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday announced that the PML-N would not enter into talks with the government over the 20th Constitutional Amendment. “We will not hold talks with the government over the 20th Constitutional Amendment bill as well as the situation developed after the NATO attacks,” Nisar said in a statement issued from his office. The government on January 18 moved a constitutional amendment bill (20th Amendment) in an attempt to provide legal cover to the actions of the chief election commissioner while the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) was incomplete. The bill is aimed at giving legal cover to over 28 members of the national and provincial assemblies elected after the passage of the 18th Amendment in April 2010 and before the completion of the ECP in June 2011. Nisar said the government had “only one manifesto and that was to stick to its own interests and power”. He said the government had transgressed all bounds in deceiving the masses. “For its vested interests, the government convenes the parliament’s sessions in no time, but on national interests, it becomes deaf and dumb,” he added.
If the government fails to get the 20th amendment bill passed by the parliament, for which it requires a two- thirds majority in both houses, the Supreme Court can declare the election of those 28 lawmakers as null and void. To amend the constitution, the government requires a two-thirds majority. Though it can manage the required number with the support of its allies and the JUI-F and the independent members, the PML-N’s decision not to talk to the government over the amendment would this time, unlike in the past, not make it unanimous.
Ch Nisar. Will you please crawl back to the feet of your master and tell him that ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. We haven't seen much action from your party in the last three years. He doesn't stand a chance of becoming a prime minister again so may as well grow some courage and act like a real opposition. It may bring him some respect after he ran away from the country with his tail between his legs.
The PML(N) must stand up and be heard, or it will VANISH AS A POLITICAL FORCE.
Honestly, Ch. Nisar looks a little decent, until he keeps his mouth shut.
Ch. NISAR if you remove this big WIGGGGG from from your small head then i am sure that after touching of fresh air to your tiny head it will work n think better as ever…….plzzzzz try once in front of this NATIONnnnnnnnnnnn……….
SHAME on this so called DEMOCRACY, POLITICS n POLITICIANS…………………….
Ch Sahib, please shut-up. You and your party stands no where in next elections if selection are not on the cards of our establishment. Pay attention to what is happening in Punjab. Ask your CM of Punjab to resign immediately on deaths of innocent people who were victim of both dengue and now medicine of death.
Aftab Kenneth you are giving wrong statements,You have to go to the Primery school to get education and learn more and more how to write in the proper language.Behave yourseves.Whatever Ch.Nisar is saying is right.How the Government is and in manner they are supposed to be replied.This groug of alliance along with PPP are the bundles of secularism and are anti-state elements.By their wrong pp;ocoes they are doing non-senses among themselves.They are not sincere with the people of Pakistan.As Bacha Khan is the agent of India why you have closed your eyes.
Truth is always a bitter pill to swallow. I doubt about your qualifications. Better check your spelling mistakes or simply write in Urdu or Punjabi. Apply some ounce from your temple before you start bashing any person.
