Consultations on constitutional package underway: Info Minister

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has said the process of broad-based consultation among political parties regarding constitutional amendments is continuing to develop a consensus.

Talking to the media in Islamabad this afternoon, he mentioned that having separate constitutional courts from the Supreme Court is an established practice in many countries.

He explained that the sole objective of this separation is to reduce the burden on the apex court, allowing constitutional matters and other cases of citizens to be heard and resolved swiftly through separate platforms.

The Minister stated Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar has prepared the draft of the proposed amendments and shared it with political parties for broader consultations to evolve a consensus.

He urged the opposition to refrain from creating ambiguity and making speculations, as this is a matter of Pakistan’s integrity and the Constitution.
