The government’s coalition partners are exerting their full efforts to win the support of Maulana Fazlur Rehman, a key political figure.
However, the question remains—has the government succeeded, or is the deadlock still intact? Officials are tight-lipped on the matter.
The government has yet to present the draft of the proposed amendments to the federal cabinet or the parliament, leaving many speculating on the future course of action.
A government delegation concluded its meeting, only for a PTI delegation to quickly arrive at Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s residence. PTI leaders Shibli Faraz and Asad Qaiser engaged in discussions with Maulana, focusing on the proposed constitutional package. Sources reveal that the aim is to gain his support for the opposition’s stance on the amendments.

Moreover, reports indicate that Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Ishaq Dar will also meet with Maulana later today.
Khursheed Shah, chairman of the Parliamentary Special Committee, confirmed that Maulana Fazlur Rehman has expressed his desire to join the committee’s discussions.
Additionally, with the government requiring a two-thirds majority in both the National Assembly and the Senate to secure the amendments, all eyes are now on Maulana’s next move. Will his decision tip the balance in favor of the government or prolong the impasse? The coming days will be critical for Pakistan’s constitutional future.
