PESHAWAR: Federal Minister for Railway Ghulam Ahmed Bilour has said the 18th Constitutional Amendment could not be approved by the National Assembly unless the issue of renaming NWFP is resolved, ARY NEWS reported.
“The parliament will not endorse the 18th amendment till the matter of renaming NWFP province hanging in the balance,” Bilour said while talking to newsmen after addressing a mass gathering in Tehsil Gorgatri near here.
He said there was no need to appoint present chairman Railway in order to cop up corruption in the department.
On Friday, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Qamar Zaman Kaira has said the incumbent democratic government was fully committed to scrapping the 17th Amendment in the Constitution.
He said the draft of 18th Amendment would be presented soon in the National Assembly since the Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Reforms is working day and night to complete the draft as soon as possible.
