Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has decided not to be a part of the proposed constitutional amendment, terming it as ‘very non-transparent’ and ‘the most controversial’ process.
Between Saturday and Sunday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf has announced a complete boycott of the voting process on the constitutional amendment in both houses of the parliament in a statement issued after a special meeting of the political committee.
The declaration has also said that the members of the National Assembly and the Senate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf who will participate in this process will be protested against.
The PTI has said that workers will hold peaceful sit-ins outside the residences of members participating in the polls in the Senate or the National Assembly regarding the proposed constitutional amendment.
The final draft of the proposed constitutional amendment is likely to be submitted to the federal cabinet for approval on Sunday.
In this regard, the meetings of the Senate and the National Assembly have also been called again on Sunday.
The meeting of the Senate, which was supposed to be held at 12 o’clock, has now been called at three o’clock, while the meeting of the National Assembly has also been called at six o’clock in the evening.

In this regard, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has taken a position that ‘the group that has openly cheated the elections and occupied the houses by usurping the mandate of the people has no moral and constitutional justification to change the constitution.’
The government has been trying for almost a month to get the proposed constitutional amendment approved by the parliament, but it could not be done due to the lack of the required majority and the opposition of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
However, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Saturday that there was no major disagreement with the government regarding the 26th constitutional amendment.
While holding a joint press conference with Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in Islamabad, Maulana Fazlur Rehman had said that ‘after long consultations, the consensus reached by the People’s Party and JUI on the constitutional amendment bill and in Karachi He expressed it in the joint press conference and later came to Lahore and shared it with the leadership of Muslim League-N, there was a long consultation and discussion on it.
He said that ‘which was the initial draft and which we had rejected, we objected to all the parts of it, the government agreed to withdraw from all its parts and then a consensus was reached.’
