QUETTA: Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry Friday said that the constitution was supreme and added we could not give any suggestion to amend it, while Justice Khilji Arif Hussain remarked that many until today would have transcended the constitution, but we would give decision under the constitution. SC three-member bench headed by CJ was hearing the Blochistan law and order case in the SC Registry here. During the hearing, amicus curie senior lawyer Zafar Ahmad told CJ that you could give suggestion to amend the constitution on which CJ said constitution was supreme and added we could not suggest amendment in the constitution. He said we have to move on the road to peace and development instead some mother comes and tells that her child was missing. CJ said National Finance Commission (NFC) has given manifold sum for development, where has that money gone, despite so much of allocated fund, the road would not be found. He said we should have honest and true representative of the people. Earlier, lawyer Zafar Ahmad said that except Quetta, other Baloch and Pashtun areas in Balochistan remind us of the olden era. Without peace, development could not take place. CJ said that the situation gets worse when one was pushed to the corner. We desire the end of target killing and missing person in Balochistan province, CJ added.
