PPP opposes change in Constitution
MIRPURKHAS, April 30: Pakistan People’s Party leader Nawab Mohammad Yousuf Talpur, MNA, has said that his party will never compromise on the supremacy of parliament and any change in the Constitution remains the sole prerogative of parliament elected by the people.
Talking to a group of newsmen at his residence, the Central Executive Committee member of the party said his party along with the joint opposition was holding parleys with the government to ensure supremacy of parliament. “Anything clipping the powers of parliament or overriding its prerogative will never be accepted,” he added.
Mr Talpur said the LFO was an executive order and no body could order a change in the Constitution unless the same was scrutinized and okayed by parliament in the form of constitutional amendments through two-thirds majority.
He stressed that time had come for the people to rethink as to who and how those leaders of this nation who made country’s defence invincible through laying foundations of nation’s nuclear missile programmes, were targeted and hounded by undemocratic forces dictated from elsewhere.
