The 26th Constitution Amendment Bill was passed in the Parliament of Pakistan on Monday (October 21, 2024). Meanwhile, discussion has started about Pakistan Peoples Party leader and MP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari becoming the Prime Minister. The reason for this is that he was very active regarding this bill, whereas neither is he a minister in the government nor is any member of his party holding a ministerial post. Because of this, many questions were being raised regarding the stance of Bilawal Bhutto. Pakistani expert Qamar Cheema says that Bilawal Bhutto will take oath as Prime Minister after one and a half years and the way his party is supporting the government now, the same kind of support will be given to him if he becomes the PM. He says that the kind of activism that Bilawal Bhutto has shown for the Amendment Bill is the reason why he will also be given similar support in the future.
Qamar Cheema said, ‘Pakistan government brought the amendment bill in the National Parliament to bring the Supreme Court under its control. Although the government did not have votes in the Parliament, but it got the senators and members of the National Assembly from the other party. Kept it. It was also heard that many parties claimed that their members were kidnapped.’
According to the report of The Dawn, to pass this bill, the National Assembly will meet from 11:30 pm on Sunday to 5 am on Monday (Pakistan time); The bill was passed with one-third vote in Satcharla and both houses. Now the bill has been sent to President Asif Ali Zardari for consent. During this time
He said, ‘A question was being raised again and again that why Bilawal Bhutto wanted to amend the Constitution. His father is the President. None of his people is part of the government, but he has supported the government. When Bilawal Bhutto becomes Prime Minister after one and a half years, the present government will support him and the President will be someone else. It is possible that Maulana Fazal ul Rehman of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind may become.’
Why is the Pakistan government changing the Constitution?
Qamar Cheema further told about the 26th Constitution Amendment Bill that there are two judges of the Supreme Court, who do not want military setup in the country and The government does not want him as Chief Justice. He said that under the current setup, the Chief Justice is the one who is most senior. The present Chief Justice is retiring on 25th October and the one who will become the next Chief Justice of Pakistan is anti-government."text-align: justify;">Under this amendment bill, under the amendment that the government is bringing, three senior judges will be selected. Parliament will form a committee and all the people who will sit through that committee will suggest the name of the new Chief Justice. Then that name will go to the President and the President will notify him. Qamar Cheema said that many people are saying that today is a black day for democracy because people are being forced to vote.
