Today, PML-N President Nawaz Sharif is hosting a dinner for PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto and JUI-F head Maulana Fazlur Rehman at Jati Umra in Lahore. This gathering follows a significant meeting between JUI-F and PPP leaders in Karachi yesterday, where they reached a consensus on constitutional amendments.

A Step Towards Consensus

Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari announced their agreement in a joint press conference, praising each other’s efforts in achieving this milestone. Bilawal emphasized the importance of including PML-N in this consensus, ensuring a united front for future negotiations.

Meeting Objectives

The primary goal of these meetings is to discuss and finalize the draft of constitutional amendments. Key areas of focus include:

• Constitutional Amendments: Finalizing the draft and achieving consensus among major parties
• Inclusion of PML-N: Inviting PML-N to support the draft and join the consensus
• Unanimous Agreement: Striving for a unanimous draft acceptable to all parties

Next Steps
