Govt trying to peacefully resolve issue of Faizabad sit-in: Tariq
November 23, 2017

Minister of State for Capital Administration and Development Division Tariq Fazal Chaudhry says the government is making all out efforts to peacefully end protestors' sit-in at Faizabad in Islamabad.

In an interview, he said a constitutional amendment of dictator's regime has been abolished by the parliament of a democratic government.             

The State Minister said the amendment was made during Musharraf's era to bar Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto from politics.      

He said PPP deviated from the ideology of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto by presenting amendment bill in the National Assembly, which was once abolished by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
