Large-scale talks on the proposed 26th constitutional amendment were held by leaders of the PML-N, PPP, and JUI-F.
chairman,chairman Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz, PML-N President Nawaz Sharif, President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, JUI-F chairman Maulana Fazlur Rehman, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, and other dignitaries attended the meeting at the Sharif brothers’ home, the Jati Umra, in Lahore.
Ishaq Dar stated that the three sides have reached an agreement over judicial reforms and that the system will deliver justice promptly as a result of the changes.
To the extent of judicial changes, according to Maulana Fazlur Rehman, a consensus has been established. He continued, “Agreements are being reached on other issues as well.”
Three alternative drafts of the constitutional amendments, each provided by three parties, were discussed during the meeting. The recommendations were also submitted by Khursheed Shah of the PPP, who is in charge of the special committee on constitutional amendments in the legislature.
For this Thursday’s lower house session, which has already been scheduled, the federal government plans to bring the constitutional modifications to the National Assembly. In addition, before the National Assembly meets, PM Shehbaz will host a luncheon for coalition partners.
Tuesday afternoon, after their meeting in Karachi, the PPP and JUI-F came to an agreement on changes to the constitution.
It was revealed during a joint press conference by PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and JUI-F Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was praised by Maulana Fazlur Rehman for reaching an agreement between his party and the PPP on the draft of constitutional reforms.
The JUI-F leader, however, deemed the government’s first proposed constitutional revisions to be unacceptable and rejected them. The nation, the constitution, and the parliament need to speak with one voice, he said, emphasizing the necessity for noncontroversial constitutional reforms.
The PML-N will also be asked to support the document that the JUI-F and PPP have finalized, according to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who spoke at the event.
The accord between the PPP and JUI-F will act as the cornerstone for future talks, Bhutto Zardari stated, adding, “We will try to include PML-N in this consensus.”
Securing a resolution to public issues is the aim, according to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, not personal gain or expediency.
