Political bigwigs discuss constitutional package at Jati Umra
Asif Ali Zardari, Bilawal Bhutto and Maulana Fazlur Rehman meet with Nawaz Sharif and Sehbaz Sharif
Lahore: Pakistan People's Patry top leaders and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman reached Lahore’s Jati Umra residence of the Sharif brothers on Wednesday to discuss the proposed 26th constitutional amendment.
The meeting also included central leaders from PML-N and PPP.
Three separate drafts of the constitutional package were being prepared — one by the government, the second by the PPP, and the third by the JUI-F. A committee, led by PPP’s Khursheed Shah, has the representation of all parties, including the PTI. It was formed by the National Assembly speaker for reconciliation among lawmakers, particularly between the PTI and the government, after a raid by plainclothesmen to round up the PTI men from the Parliament House.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and others also welcomed the JUI-F delegation.
