Defence Minister Khawaja Asif emphasised the importance of restoring the “respect and dignity” of parliament following the Senate's passage of key constitutional amendments.
Expressing his thoughts during the key National Assembly session in the wee hours of Monday, Asif said: "Maintaining consistency in political behavior is essential for achieving the respect and dignity that the legislature seeks."
The defence minister underscored that these constitutional changes are not a new initiative from the government but rather a continuation of the charter of democracy, a historic agreement signed by all political leaders, including the PTI founder.

Earlier, Asif hoped that judiciary will shift its focus from politics to ensure immediate justice for the citizens following the approval of the constitutional amendment from the Senate.
Expressing his thoughts, Asif said: "The Senate has approved a pivotal amendment and the National Assembly will follow suit shortly."
Asif stated: "The parliamentary democratic system will be liberated from judicial dominance."
"The power that belongs to the people, after the Higher Power’s decree will be freed from the clutches of the judiciary," Asif maintained.
"They [PTI leaders] will vote for the package due to some reasons," he added.
