Media Release: PFUJ lauds tabling of 18th Amendment
ISLAMABAD, April 4:- The Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) has congratulated the entire national political leadership and democracy lovers over tabling of the 18th Amendment with consensus before the parliament and termed it a landmark achievement in the constitutional history of the country.
The PFUJ, in a statement here on Sunday, reminded that it was the Pakistan People’s Party founder-chairman Saheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who had given the 1973 constitution to the nation with consensuses after 24 years of the creation of the country.
“Now it was again the PPP which under the command of President Asif Ali Zardari, after 37 years made yet another milestone of bringing all political forces and federating units together to reshape the constitution as per aspirations of the nation,” the PFUJ added.
The PFUJ paid rich tributes to Senator Raza Rabani and the members of the parliamentary committee on constructional reforms for their months long tireless efforts which paved the way for this remarkable achievement.
The PFUJ pointed out that the 18th amendment bill would be an enormous victory for President Asif Ali Zardari who, against all expectations and difficult times, has constantly been perusing the political leadership of the country to demonstrate coolness and statesmanship and political maturity for giving the nation a true parliamentary system of the government with sovereignty of the parliament.
The PFUJ announced that after formal passage of the 18th Amendment, it would hold a national seminar at Islamabad in which entire political leadership of the country would be invited for paying tributes for doing such a memorable and laudable task.
