Author: Web Desk

ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader Khursheed Shah confirmed on Wednesday that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will not support Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)’s attempts to amend article 62, 63 of the Constitution.

Khursheed said while talking to media that PML-N had not supported PPP when the former had asked to amend the two articles, confirming that his party would not support former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s party’s attempts to save him.

“There was no support from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz when we wanted to amend both articles. We wanted to expunge clauses introduced by Gen (retd) Ziaul Haq. PPP will never support such an amendment to save one individual.” Said Shah.

Law Minister Zahid Hamid had asked for amendments in Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution during the National Assembly session on Tuesday.

Nawaz was ousted from premiership by Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan on July 28 under Article 62 (1)(f) of the Constitution pertaining panamagate case.
