Islamabad: Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that the judiciary can interpret the Constitution but cannot rewrite it. The power to amend the Constitution lies only with the parliament.
Addressing a ceremony in Islamabad on the occasion of the launch of a consti-tuition application, the Prime Minister said that we should not hesitate to sacrifice politics to save the state. In difficult situations, power is obtained. All institutions must come together to safeguard the Constitution.
He said that the Constitution is born from the womb of parliament. It has never happened that parliament makes a law and the judiciary issues a stay order. Big people make themselves dependent on national interests.
