Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Reforms Mian Raza Rabbani laid a unanimously passed report of the committee on 19th Amendment in the National Assembly on Tuesday.
Laying the report in the House, Mian Rabbani said that today was a historical day in the political history of Pakistan and parliament as another unanimous amendment bill was being laid in the House.
"This is a unique moment in the political history of the country that two very important unanimously adopted constitutional bills are presented in the House in 2010," he added.
Complimenting the role of members of constitutional reforms committee and all political parties, he said that no dissent note was written in the 19th Amendment.
Main Rabbani said that reservations regarding clash of constitutional institutions would be sorted out for ever with the amendment.
He said when some articles of 18th Amendment were challenged in the Supreme Court there were rumours that the country was heading towards clash of institutions. However, the Supreme Court sent back the bill to parliament for review.
He said that he was thankful to the president, the prime minister and the National Assembly Speaker for giving a free hand to the committee which made it possible for him to present a unanimously adopted 19th Amendment by the committee in the House.
He said all the political parties showed political sagacity and reached consensus for national interest.
He said that all the constitutional institutions were functioning in their constitutional domain and the political system in the country was strengthening day by day.
Rabbani also paid tribute to the members of the committee and said without their active cooperation, it was not possible for bringing unanimous amendments.
