Bilawal Bhutto launches Niaz Stadium Renovation, confirms obligation to corruption -free development

Pakistan Peoples Party President Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Tuesday dismissed speculation about any potential legislation on a 27th constitutional amendment as “groundless”.

Even when the 26th constitutional amendment remains destroyed by controversy, the Corridors of the Islamabad have been amazed at rumors of a possible 27. Constitutional amendment. Speculation suggests that the potential change would bring further changes in the structure and function of superior court.

The 26th change had brought sweeping changes in the legal framework.

Bilawal, who spoke to journalists at the launch of renovation works for Hyderabad’s Niaz Stadium, rubbed the “baseless rumors”. “So far, no federal minister, prime minister or party member has approached me regarding changes.”

He emphasized that the 26th change was adopted after reaching a consensus and with compromise from political parties. “PPP wanted constitutional courts, but we compromised,” Bilawal said.

Meanwhile on X (formerly Twitter), PPP’s media wing quoted Bilawal to say, “The 26th Constitutional amendment is a perpetual success. Court reforms and constitutional courts were a demand from the charter of democracy, but we prioritized a constitutional bench over a constitutional court of consensus”.

In a comment on India’s attitude towards the Indus Waters Treaty, Bilawal claimed that Pakistan should receive its share of three rivers under the agreement and warned that if the treaty is not honored, Pakistan would seek water from all six rivers under international law.

He remembered to visit Hyderabad a year ago to inaugurate a water filtration system and expressed satisfaction over the pace of ongoing projects by the provincial government. “In the past, some politicians sowed seeds of hatred here, but now Hyderabad will continue to move on.”

When he emphasized the need to change from traditional flood irrigation methods against advanced water technology, he added, “so far we have focused only on flood irrigation. The federal government must move towards modernization in the water sector”.
