Senior journalist Nusrat Javed has described the 27th Constitutional Amendment as another blow to democracy. He recalled how Prime Minister Gilani was disqualified for five years, Nawaz Sharif for life, and Pakistan’s first elected Prime Minister was hanged. Javed argued that the amendment reflects how two pillars of power have combined to push back the third, continuing a long history of undermining elected leaders. His comments underline the deep concerns about the balance of power in Pakistan. Source: Public News
