Pakistani Senate tables vote for passage of controversial 27th Amendment amid opposition furore

While the government maintains that the reforms are intended to modernise Pakistan's constitutional and defence systems, opposition lawmakers have called it a threat to the country's already fragile democracy, as it sees a significant shift regarding the balance of power between the military and civilian institutions.
It has also been called a downright abuse of power – as it grants certain high level officials immunity - preventing them being held accountable, or scrutinised by the law.
