CM KP Says, 27th Amendment to destroy democracy

KP – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – Chief Minister Mohammad Sohail Afridi stated here on Sunday that the 27th Amendment, which would be passed by those with only 17 members in the National Assembly, has flattened democracy and the constitution.
He spoke with journalists at the Karkhano Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station. He stated that no army generals had been convicted in the country. He stated that if a general was sentenced, the verdict was not carried out.
He claimed that some powerful individuals had already destroyed the Constitution and therefore there was no need for constitutional revision.
“The powerful, who committed tyranny with the country, the Constitution, judiciary and media, never required any constitutional amendment,” according to him.

Mr Afridi said that his leader had always been against military operations. He said that only tribesmen knew the pain of military offensives. He added that some people considered themselves above the law.

“What I want is decisions should not be made behind closed doors,” he said, adding some people started his character assassination the day he was nominated for the office of chief minister.

The chief minister said that BRT was a gift of PTI founder Imran Khan for middle class. He said that the purpose of his visit was to directly meet people and listen to them. He said that the service was the best but was overcrowded.

He said that more buses were being added to reduce the burden. He announced to extend the service to Bara and Jamrud tehsils of Khyber tribal district.

Meanwhile, in a statement issued from Chief Minister’s Secretariat, he said that the purpose of his travelling by BRT was to personally assess the service. “I desired to experience the BRT journey personally, receive direct feedback from people and use that feedback to further improve the service,” he said.

In response to a question, the chief minister announced that ‘Peace Jirga’ would be held on November 12 to find a permanent solution to terrorism.

Parliamentarians, former lawmakers and leaders of political parties would be invited to the jirga to chalk out a path toward permanent peace and stability, he added.

In another statement issued from his office, Mr Afrdi said that effective use of modern technology and digitisation would ensure efficiency, transparency and eliminate unnecessary human interference and favouritism.
