No progress on 20th amendment: Nisar

ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Tuesday hoped that headway would be achieved on the 20th amendment of the Constitution by tomorrow,

Talking to media, he said no progress was made on the matter during negotiations today.

He said during the course of negotiations PML-N reiterated its stance.

Chaudhry Nisar said the legislators whose membership was suspended were not at fault because it was the Chief Election Commissioner who was actually responsible for this.

He said under the Constitution a chief election commissioner could not be granted extension in office term.

He said his party wanted a caretaker prime minister who enjoyed consensus of the entire nation. The caretaker PM should be capable of making possible the holding of transparent elections, he added.

"We have serious reservations over the word 'consultation' ….. the government only uses it as an information," he said, adding the government 'does not consult, it only informs'.
