The Senate convened on Sunday to begin deliberations on the 27th Amendment Bill, as lawmakers debated over the proposed changes to the Constitution.
Senate Chairperson Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani presided over the proceedings, which began with a tribute to national poet Allama Iqbal on his birth anniversary.
Speaking on the floor of the House, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Ali Zafar reaffirmed his party’s strong opposition to the proposed amendment, warning that altering the Constitution was akin to “tampering with the foundation of a building”.
He likened the nation to a building, saying the government’s actions were “weakening its very foundation.”
This is a developing story and is being updated with further details.
