ISLAMABAD : The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has opposed holding a vote on constitutional amendments on Oct 18.
According to PPP source, the party has suggested that the government should present the amendment either before or after Oct 18, as the PPP’s central leadership will be busy in the Hyderabad rally on that date, commemorating the Karsaz tragedy.
Sources indicate that the amendments could be presented in parliament n Oct 17. Previously, the PPP had opposed bringing the amendments on Oct 13, as the federal government intended to carry out the legislation on that Sunday.
The federal government had called its overseas and allied parliamentarians back before Oct 13 for this purpose.
