PMAP urges new constitution

By Our Correspondent


QUETTA, Jan 2: The Pukhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party's provincial executive committee on Saturday stressed that the country's constitutional issues could be resolved if the requirements of the federal parliamentary system were accepted in letter and spirit.

A statement issued after a meeting of the committee presided over by the party's provincial chief Abdur Rauf at the MPAs' hostel said amendments to the constitution by military dictators had distorted the original shape of the statute.

It demanded that a new constitution should be framed according to 1940 Resolution to recognize the national rights of the oppressed nationalities.

It stated that the country was passing through a serious political and constitutional crisis and the military rulers who had captured power through extra-constitutional methods were responsible for the miseries of the Pukhtuns, Baloch, Sindhis and Seraikis. Dubbing the Kalabagh dam an anti-Pukhtun project, it asked the government to shelve it.
