He said, “They were amending Article 8, 199 and 200 with 57 constitutional amends, while the draft of the amendment was not available with anyone.” The PTI leader further stated, “We also didn’t have the draft, it was not given to us, and we were only sitting in the committee.” He said that the government members in the special committee had no answer to questions. Omar Ayub commended the positive role played by JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman with his legitimate stance. He said, September 21 PTI public meeting in Lahore will be held at any cost. “This is for the supremacy of the constitution and the law,” he added.
