There is no constitution. So even if there is a new one it will make no difference.

PSC was established under the 18th Amendment. So there was no chance of consulting it at that time !!!

It is not a judgement, it is a proposal. This means that only PSC can propose changes. The Parliament will approve with a 2/3 majority vote.
Without 2/3 majority no changes could be done to the Constitution.
I think the Government is considering to bring a brand new Constitution.

Did you consult the PSC when you did the 18th Amendment? Please don't think we are ALL fools. Some are, but not all.

PSC can only propose but who will implement? Is it similar to the bogus commissions such as APRC, LLRC?

Ahhh, So what we expected is going to come. No Presidential or General Election for the Next 25Years. Only the President's (MR's) family can become Prime Ministers and Presidents. Wait and See, if I am Wrong....
