Senate panel questions re-creation of devolved ministries after 18th Amendment

The Senate Functional Committee on Devolution is probing concerns about the federal government re-establishing ministries for areas handed to provincial control via the 18th Constitutional Amendment. This move has raised alarms about potential overreach and the erosion of provincial autonomy. The committee formed a sub-group to look into these alleged violations, highlighting the importance of maintaining the balance of power promised by the amendment. This scrutiny is crucial as it directly impacts the federal-provincial relations and the distribution of powers in Pakistan.
