Non-formation of CCI violation of constitution: Raza Rabbani

He said that the full report from the Abbottabad Commission must be released.

KARACHI: The federal government was violating the constitution by not forming a council on common interests (CCI), Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Raza Rabbani said in a press conference in Karachi, Express News reported.

“A lot of problems and issues now come under the CCI. Therefore the non-formation of the CCI is giving the impression that the federal government has still not accepted devolution of power,” said Rabbani.

Rabbani said that the full report from the Abbottabad Commission should be made public, the confusion regarding the subject should be removed and the chapter should be closed.

Rabbani said that if the Sindh government was abolished, or if efforts were set underway to transform it into a one-unit, there will be serious consequences.

"These are actions that hint that perhaps we are moving back towards a one-unit structure," he said.

Meanwhile, the Federal Information Minister Pervez Rasheed has said that the council had been formed as early as 20 days ago.
