Barrister Gohar says Assembly rules must be followed to float any bill

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar on Saturday stated that if any bill was presented in parliament, it would be a violation of the constitution.
Speaking to media in Parliament House, PTI Chairman emphasized that constitution and law had devised a comprehensive mechanism to table any bill but he considered that any bill tabled today would not be as per law and constitution.
“Assembly rules must be followed and house approval was necessary to float any bill,” said the PTI Chairman, adding that the government's constitutional amendment bill wasn’t provided to them in the authorised agenda.
Barrister Gohar insisted that cabinet approval was mandatory for presenting any bill from the government.
Barrister Gohar claimed that no bill was approved in the cabinet session on Friday.
“If any bill is presented today, it will be a violation of the constitution,” he insisted.
It is pertinent to note that the government was all set to present a constitutional amendment bill in both houses of parliament in today’s session but now it would be presented tomorrow.
There are speculations that the government aims to bring judicial reforms including increasing Supreme Court judges retirement age and their strength.
The government has also claimed that it has secured the required number of votes for constitutional amendment approval.
