No roll back of 18th Amendment: Alvi

President also negates possibility of change in foreign policy towards Israel

President Arif Alvi on Thursday denied any possibility to roll back the 18th Constitutional Amendment, Radio Pakistan reported.

The president's comments were revealed in an interview to a private news channel.

Furthermore, the president negated any possibility of change in foreign policy towards Israel.
