Speaking at a press conference alongside members of the Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Aain-e-Pakistan, Qaiser said the opposition had called an emergency meeting today as the government had \u201copened the Pandora\u2019s box\u201d of the 27th Amendment. Referring to Bilawal Bhutto\u2019s recent tweet, he said it was \u201cdeeply concerning\u201d and added that PPP was \u201cplaying along in this show.\u201d He alleged that the amendment\u2019s outcome was predetermined and was being presented merely to \u201cfool the people.\u201d Criticizing the PPP\u2019s political shift, Qaiser remarked, \u201cThere was once a PPP of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who laid the foundation of the Constitution, and a PPP of Benazir Bhutto, who gave her life for democracy. But today\u2019s PPP seems bent on burying democracy.\u201d Taking a jab at Nawaz Sharif, he said, \u201cWhere is your slogan \u2018vote ko izzat do\u2019 now? Power gained by kneeling down is worth nothing.\u201d Qaiser further said that PTI had shared its recommendations with the party founder and would issue a press release if a meeting takes place.
