HYDERABAD, July 3: Awami Tehrik (AT) chief Rasool Bukhsh Palijo has appealed to the Supreme Court to take suo motu notice of the proposed constitutional amendments.

He was talking to newsmen at his Prince Town residence here the other day.

Rejecting the proposed amendments to the constitution, Palijo said this was a dangerous move and would prove harmful for the country.

The AT chief said Gen Ziaul Haq had far exceeded the mandate given to him by the Supreme Court but he was not checked and now Gen Musharraf was doing the same thing.

He said that under the proposed amendments, the senate would be rendered ineffective and added that increasing numerical strength of the senate was of no consequence if it was bereft of powers.

He said the senate must be given the powers which had been vested in the American Senate.
