Hyderabad:
The president of the PPP, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, dismissed on Tuesday as “without foundation” speculation about any movement to legislate a 27th constitutional amendment.
Although amendment 26 is still mired in the controversy, Islamabad’s power corridors have been full of rumors that a possible amendment 27 could further alter the structure and functioning of the superior judiciary.
The 26th amendment had brought radical changes in the judicial framework.
In statements to journalists at the launch of Renewal Works for the Niaz stadium of Hyderabad, Bilawal ruined the “Rumors without foundation.” “Until now, no federal minister, prime minister or party member has approached me with respect to any amendment.”
He stressed that the 26th amendment was approved after reaching a consensus and with the commitment of political parties. “PPP wanted constitutional courts, but we committed ourselves,” Bilawal said.
Meanwhile, in X (previously Twitter), the PPP media wing cited Bilawal saying: “The 26th constitutional amendment is an eternal success.
When commenting on India’s position on the swing of the Indo’s waters, Bilawal said that Pakistan should receive his part of three rivers under the agreement, warning that if the treaty is not honored, Pakistan would seek water from the six rivers under international law.
He recalled Hyderabad a year ago to inaugurate a water filtration plant and expressed his satisfaction with the rhythm of the ongoing projects by the provincial government. “In the past, some politicians sowed hate seeds here, but now Hyderabad will continue advancing.”
Emphasizing the need to change the traditional flood irrigation methods towards advanced water technology, he added.
