Ishaq Dar, the leader of the House in the Senate, denied recent rumours that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) planned to change the 18th Amendment on Tuesday. He made it clear during his Senate speech that the party did not take this into account. He made it clear that the manifesto committee had not received instructions from the PML-N to concentrate on amending the 18th Amendment. Dar emphasised that the party’s stance had already been made clear and that any such intentions had been rejected by the manifesto committee, which was chaired by Senator Irfan Siddiqui and former Minister of Information Marriyum Aurangzeb. He emphasised the background of the Charter of Democracy, which was signed in 2006 by the PML-N and the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP).
