ISLAMABAD: Former federal minister Senator Faisal Vawda on Sunday hailed the passage of the 26th constitutional amendment as a “historic success” and expressed satisfaction over the high number of votes it received.

Speaking to the media outside the Parliament House, he revealed that he had refused to meet PTI founder following the events of May 9 in Lahore.

He said the people of Pakistan would now witness progress, prosperity and development as a result of the amendment.

He also criticized the current PTI leadership for leading the party’s founder into its present difficulties, adding, “Had Imran Khan listened to me at that time, he would be in a much better position today, instead of being in jail.” In response to a question about PTI founder, Vawda expressed skepticism about the possibility of any relief for him.
