JI decides to challenge 26th amendment: Hafiz Naeem

Islamabad: Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman on Monday said that the party would challenge the 26th constitutional amendment. 

Addressing a press conference, he alleged that a conspiracy was hatched to attack and influence the judiciary. 

Naeem disclosed that they were considering legal mechanisms and would move the Supreme Court to challenge the 26th amendment to the constitution. 

He hailed the PTI move to boycott the amendment saying some opposition members did vote in support of the amendment after being bribed. 

Parliamentarians who hardly secured seats and won elections had made the amendment, Naeem criticised. 

The JI emir berated the Punjab government for giving relief in power bills to the public only for two months.
