ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari has agreed to repeal the controversial 17th Amendment and reform the Constitution in line with the Charter of Democracy (CoD).
Generally seen as the main stumbling block in the implementation of the CoD and purging the 1973 Constitution of distortions, Zardari on Monday clearly told his party’s top decision-making body — the CEC — he was willing to fulfil the commitments made by Benazir Bhutto. “There is a need to undo the 17th Amendment and 58-2(b) and reform the Constitution in the light of the Charter of Democracy,” he said while addressing the PPP’s Central Executive Committee (CEC), which met here at the Presidency.
