Pakistan’s Senate approves 27th constitutional amendment reshaping judiciary, military command

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Senate, the upper house of parliament, on Monday approved the 27th constitutional amendment that reshapes the country’s judiciary and military command, amid a protest by opposition lawmakers. The amendment, introduced last week, makes sweeping changes to Pakistan’s constitutional framework. It rewrites Article 243 to create the new post of Chief of Defense Forces, while abolishing the long-standing position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC).
