Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, Barrister Gohar Khan, has raised concerns about the government’s approach to introducing the proposed constitutional amendment, claiming that no one was informed about it in advance.
Speaking to Samaa TV, he questioned the process, saying, “Is this how a constitutional amendment is brought?”
Khan stated that over 80 members of the National Assembly (MNAs) are aligned with PTI. He warned that if any PTI members vote in favor of another party, their votes would not be counted, and they would be disqualified under Article 63A of the Constitution, which deals with defection laws.
The PTI chairman further asserted that voting against party directives could lead to immediate disqualification for the concerned members.
Barrister Gohar also claimed that JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman would stand with PTI on this matter.
Meanwhile, a PTI delegation, including senior members such as Asad Qaiser, Umar Ayub, Shibli Faraz, and Sahibzada Hamid, reportedly visited Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s residence.
According to sources, this visit occurred when a government delegation, comprising Punjab's caretaker chief minister Mohsin Naqvi and Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar, was already present at Maulana’s house.
