Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Thursday denied any immediate discussions with the federal government on a potential 28th Constitutional Amendment, saying he would comment if there were any developments.
“No talks have taken place yet on the 28th Amendment; [but] I do not know about tomorrow,” he said while addressing the PPP’s parliamentary party meeting. During the meeting, Bilawal said that he himself had spoken about the 27th Amendment and noted that the 26th and 27th constitutional amendments had secured provincial rights.
He added that PPP’s efforts ensured the representation of all provinces in the Supreme Court and Federal Constitutional Court. According to Bilawal, the federal government would not be able to amend the constitution or pass the budget without his party’s support.
He cautioned that the upcoming budget could bring greater hardships for the public.
Pakistan was facing an economic crisis, he said, warning that inflation was heavily impacting citizens across the country.
