Bilawal asks public to share its suggestions
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has asked people to give their suggestions on ways to improve the 26th constitutional amendment.
The former foreign minister shared his party's proposed draft in a series of tweets on Saturday and called for input on judicial reforms.
He emphasised that the proposed amendment aligns with the unfinished agenda of the Charter of Democracy while stating, "We propose the establishment of a federal constitutional court with equal representation from all federating units."
He added that the proposed court would address issues related to fundamental rights, constitutional interpretation, and disputes between the federation and the federating units.
"Our recommendation is to end the current process of judges being appointed by judges for judges," he said.
Recalling that the PPP had shared its draft proposal with the government months ago and with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), he said, “We are in productive talks with opposition parties, including JUI-F, to reach a consensus."
He called on citizens to give their "valid and meaningful suggestions" to further improve the amendment while stressing that the party had already launched a broad nationwide consultation campaign, engaging political parties, bar associations, and civil society in the process.
"We believe a joint draft could form the foundation for wider political agreement," he stated.
