PML-N, ANP conflict delays 18th amendment

Surprising.
PA writers are already discussing the issue of the new name of NWFP but that is not so a big reason that N could delay the first democratic amendment.

ISLAMABAD: The meeting of Parliamentary Committee for Constitutional Reforms (PCCR) postponed till tomorrow forcing postponement of the joint parliamentary session that had been convened for March 26, Friday in which recommendations prepared by the committee were to be tabled, Geo News reported.

Conflicts over renaming of NWFP between PML-N and ANP remained.

Federal Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Babar Awan yesterday said that the joint parliamentary session has been convened for Friday in which recommendations prepared by the Parliamentary Committee for Constitutional Reforms (PCCR) will be tabled.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said that summary for convening joint session has not yet received.

PML N’s four member were very active in the committee and one day before proposal of 7th member of judicial commission was agreed on their proposal and issue of the name of NWFP is basically not their issue as they represent only Punjab in N.a. and there representation in other three provincial assemblies is equal to zero so there is no reason to delay this ammendment.
Perhaps he wanted to see Zardari more powerful presedent.
