ISLAMABAD, Sep 16 (NNI): PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has expressed strong opposition to the recently leaked draft of the constitutional amendment, stating that as unacceptable.
Speaking to the media outside the Islamabad High Court, Barrister Gohar Ali Khan criticised the lack of transparency regarding the draft. He revealed that his party had not been given access to the draft and had requested a copy for review.
He condemned the leaked draft, asserting that no one could agree with its provisions.
“The draft allows for the transfer of judges against their will, meaning judges could be transferred at any time, and if a judge refuses, they could be forced to resign. This would impose severe restrictions on the judiciary,” he said.
Barrister Gohar also raised concerns about the removal of powers from the Supreme Court, questioning how parallel courts would operate.
He emphasised that all political parties should have been consulted on the constitutional amendments and questioned how consensus could be achieved without a draft being presented on table. NNI
