He criticised efforts to have constitutional amendments


Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Hamid Khan on Monday announced to launch a lawyers' movement from September 19, against the proposed constitutional amendments.
Speaking to the media outside the Supreme Court, he criticised efforts to have constitutional amendments.
Hamid Khan stated that the proposed amendments were the mockery of the constitution and condemned the potential creation of a federal constitutional court.
He maintained that lawyers would reject the amendment bill before it was formally presented and pledged to conduct a movement similar to the one against Gen Pervez Musharraf.
He stressed that no other constitutional court could be established while the Supreme Court existed.
“If a constitutional court was to be created, it would have to be over the "dead bodies" of lawyers,” he said.
Khan firmly stated that the Supreme Court was the only constitutional court and that parallel courts would not be tolerated.
Furthermore, Khan opposed any changes to the procedure for appointing the chief justice, demanding the immediate notification of Justice Mansoor Ali Shah as chief justice.
He warned that on Oct 26, they would only recognise Justice Mansoor Ali Shah as chief justice and no one else.
Khan called on lawyers nationwide to join the movement, urging them to reject the proposed constitutional package and discard it into the "dustbin."
