ISLAMABAD: After a crucial meeting between PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman over the government-sponsored proposed constitutional package, Pakistan Peoples Party leader Syed Naveed Qamar claimed on Monday that the politico-religious party “agreed on the formation of a constitutional court”.
Bilawal accompanied by the senior party leaders held a meeting with Fazl at his residence in Islamabad today. The PPP delegation includes Khursheed Shah, Naveed Qamar, Jameel Soomro, and Murtaza Wahab.
The JUI-F delegation headed by Fazl included Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri, Maulana Abdul Wasay, Maulana Asad Mahmood, Senator Kamran Murtaza, Mir Usman Badini, and Maulana Misbah Uddin.
Bilawal headed to Fazl’s residence after holding a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as the ruling coalition continued all-out efforts to sail through its judiciary-centric constitutional package in the parliament with a two-thirds majority.
The political bigwigs discussed the overall political situation of the country in the meeting.
“Positive things have happened in today’s meeting,” said Qamar while addressing a press conference along with Shah following the Bilawal-Fazl meeting. “We hope that we will all sit down and come to a consensus.”
Elaborating on the constitutional package, the PPP leader said that there is an amendment related to the constitutional court. He added that Maulana Fazl has shown his agreement with the formation of the constitutional court, however, he has some differences over the modus operandi.
The politico said that Bilawal and Fazl had attended a special committee session a day ago to discuss the constitutional tweaks.
