Karachi-Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Jamiat-Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) have finally reached a consensus on the draft of the 26th constitutional amendment, as announced by JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman. This development comes after intense deliberations between the two parties.
After much deliberation, I can say this much that our two parties have agreed on a draft [of the constitutional package],” Fazl said while addressing a press conference in Karachi after meeting with the PPP Chairman.
He said they would meet Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif tomorrow and try to achieve his agreement, adding that he also had to meet the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership.
“We will make an effort to create such a consensus on this draft that it is unanimously considered a constitutional amendment,” he said.
The JUI-F chief noted that “serious” talks were held with the PPP as he praised Bilawal Bhutto — who spearheaded the government efforts for the contentious package — for playing a “big role” in achieving the consensus.
Key Aspects of the Constitutional Amendment:
– Establishment of a Federal Constitutional Court
– Three-year tenure for the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP)
Upcoming Meetings:
– With Nawaz Sharif, PML-N President
– With PTI leadership
This breakthrough marks significant progress in Pakistan’s constitutional reform efforts.
