ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar has claimed that seven members from the government’s own benches will not vote in favour of the proposed constitutional amendment.
His statement comes amid growing political tension surrounding the controversial changes.
Speaking on the matter, Barrister Gohar criticised the democratic process behind the proposed law. “I have not seen any democracy where such a law is made. If this law is passed, any minority could form the government”.

Gohar also revealed that PTI plans to meet with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman later today. He clarified PTI’s stance on judicial reforms, stating, “If there is a need for reforms in the judiciary, we are with him, but do not subjugate the judiciary and do not transfer judges without their will.” Gohar expressed hope that Maulana Fazl would stand firm on protecting judicial independence.
The PTI chairman also confirmed that they have prepared a draft proposal regarding the constitutional amendment. “We will present the draft when we meet with the former Chairman PTI,” he said, underscoring PTI’s readiness to negotiate and offer alternatives.
