Constitutional Amendments
Ishaq Dar played a pivotal role in creating consensus on 18th Constitutional Amendment in March 2010 among 26 member parliamentary committee on constitutional reforms; both treasury and opposition members of parliament hailed his efforts for making 18th constitutional amendment possible. For the purpose of implementation of constitutional reforms by end of June 2011, National Implementation Commission has been established with a key role to Senator Dar as Deputy Chairman. He comes across as a strong contender for the post of Finance Minister, if and when the Sharif government comes to power; a wise choice given the man's expertise in the area of finance. Senator Dar is a member of number of standing committees and also chairs the Standing Committee on Industries and Production. Senator Dar is also the chairman of the University of Health Sciences, Punjab.

Famous quotes containing the word amendments:
“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
