ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and former president Asif Zardari has warned against efforts to roll back the 18th Constitution Amendment, alleging that “those hatching conspiracies against the amendment are actually playing with the country’s solidarity”.
This was stated by Mr Zardari in a statement on the occasion of the Constitution Day observed in the country on Saturday to mark the approval of the 1973 Constitution by parliament on this day in 1973.
In his message, Mr Zardari claimed that the “conspiracies” against the 18th Amendment granting provincial autonomy were still being hatched in the country. He, however, expressed the hope that all the democratic forces in the country would defend the 18th Amendment and would not allow these conspiracies to succeed.
