PPP Senator Raza Rabbani on Monday said his party has started making contacts with the opposition to requisite session of parliament on the statements to modify the 18th Amendment.
Talking to the reporters outside parliament, he said that the requisition for the session would be submitted after Eid. He said Petroleum Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has threatened to roll back the 18th Amendment and talked about altering the clause 158 of the law which deals with distribution of natural gas.
“If government would modify the 18th Amendment, it would be a strapping hit on the face of federation and PPP would not allow doing so,” he added.
He said that the architects of 18th Amendment from PML-N, including Ishaq Dar, Ahsan Iqbal and Mehtab Abbasi would also be contacted and they would be asked to convince their party in this connection.
