Islamabad: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that the constitutional package will be presented in the Parliament after evolving complete consensus on it.
Speaking in the National Assembly this afternoon, he said it is the utmost desire of the government to develop maximum consensus on the proposed constitutional package.
He said it is not aimed at strengthening one individual or a political party but the Parliament in accordance with the Constitution.
Khawaja Muhammad Asif said the proposed constitutional package remained in discussion within the media and political parties over the last two days.
He said the package is an attempt to correct the constitutional imbalances and undo the 19th Amendment, emphasizing there was no politics involved in it.
The Defence Minister pointed out that the PML-N and the PPP had signed the Charter of Democracy and it is our effort to bring amendments in the constitution that aligns with this broad based consensus document.
He said the establishment of a Constitutional Court was also a part of the Charter of Democracy. He said there are several countries where these constitutional courts exist.
He said there is no political interest if we want to reduce burden on the judiciary and bring ease in the lives of the people.
