ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Saifullah Abro announced his resignation from the Senate moments after casting vote in favour of the 27th Constitutional Amendment.
According to Abro, he voted just due to the respect of Pakistan Army.
Speaking during the Senate session, Senator Abro said, “India was defeated by the Pakistan Army. Field Marshal Asim Munir has earned global respect. I cast my vote in favour of the amendment because of the Pakistan Army and Field Marshal Asim Munir.”
Abro, who had voted in favour of the 27th Amendment, declared, “I am resigning from my seat today — please de-notify me.”
By supporting the constitutional amendment, Senator Abro went against his party’s policy.
He was elected to the Senate from Sindh in 2021 on PTI ticket, with his term set to continue until March 2027.
It is worth mentioning here that PTI’s Saifullah Abro and JUI-F’s Ahmad Khan both voted in favour of the 27th Constitutional Amendment during the Senate session on Monday.
Both the lawmakers arrived in the House and cast their votes supporting the amendment, which was presented by Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar.
The session, presided over by Chairman Senate Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani, continued with clause-by-clause approval of the proposed constitutional changes.
The 27th Amendment Bill is viewed as a major political and constitutional development, with debates ongoing regarding its implications for the country’s judicial and legislative structure.
