Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Qaisar has raised alarms over potential threats to the lives of PTI parliamentarians and their families in the current volatile political environment, where the government is attempting to pass specific constitutional amendments. Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) Chairman and Member of National Assembly (MNA) Sahibzada Hamid Raza echoed these concerns, stating that PTI MNAs' families are at risk of being taken hostage, the 24NewsHD TV channel reported.
Speaking to the media, Asad Qaisar mentioned plans to consult with Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman before making any decisions but noted the government's confusion regarding the JUI's support for the amendment. He criticised the nature of the amendment, suggesting it undermines the Constitution's integrity.
SIC Chairman Sahibzada Hamid Raza declared the proposed constitutional changes at this juncture to be unlawful, labelling the day such amendments are made as a 'black day' in history. He expressed strong reservations about the safety and security of PTI MNAs' families, condemning any coercive tactics.
