Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) on Tuesday agreed on a draft for constitutional amendments.
The announcement was made during a joint press conference in Karachi, where JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari revealed that the two parties have reached a consensus.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman, while addressing the media, praised Bilawal Bhutto's efforts in facilitating the agreement, stating, "Bilawal Bhutto played a crucial role in bringing us together on the constitutional amendments. We aim to gather support from all political forces, including Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)."
Bilawal Bhutto, in his remarks, confirmed that further consultations are planned with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership.
"Maulana Fazlur Rehman will meet Nawaz Sharif tomorrow, and we have also been invited to join for a discussion. I hope this agreement between PPP and JUI-F will serve as the foundation for a broader consensus," Bhutto said.
The PPP chairman added that both parties have historically played a key role in protecting and strengthening the constitution, expressing hope that this cooperation will continue.
"We will meet with Nawaz Sharif to try and form a consensus, and efforts will also be made to secure unanimous approval for the constitutional amendment," he said.
Bilawal Bhutto further emphasised the need for unity among all political parties, stating that the proposed amendments are in the national interest, not for personal or party gains.
The meeting between Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Nawaz Sharif is expected to take place tomorrow, with key decisions anticipated regarding the amendment process.
