ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court ruling has blocked ruling coalition’s desire to amend the Constitution according to its wishes, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Friday.

His remarks came as he addressed the media after the apex court, in a majority verdict, declared that the PTI is a political party and eligible for reserved seats denied by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

The order has effectively deprived the government of a two-thirds majority in the Parliament, essential for amending the Constitution.
