ISLAMABAD: The opposition senators, mainly from the PPP, expressed fears on Monday that a 1977-like situation was being created in an attempt to wrap up democracy.
The PPP’s parliamentary leader, Raza Rabbani, warned that the federation would cease to exist in its present shape if attempts to change the democratic set-up succeeded.
The senators also questioned the government’s “inaction and silence” over the prevailing situation in the wake of the ongoing fighting between media groups and launching of a movement by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) against the alleged rigging in last year’s general elections.
“This time, the federation, and not the constitution, is at stake,” warned Mr Rabbani while initiating a debate on the political situation.
