Pakistan's National Assembly on Wednesday (November 12, 2025) passed the controversial 27th Constitutional Amendment Bill with a two-thirds majority during a ruckus-marred session, aiming to create a new position of the Chief of Defence Forces and set up a constitutional court.
The bill, which had stirred controversy for weeks, was presented in the National Assembly by Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar on Tuesday (November 11, 2025), a day after the Senate approved the key legislation.
