Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has confirmed that consultations on the proposed 26th constitutional amendment are proceeding after holding an hour-long discussion with the leadership of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). It is important to note, though, that the government is not taking the opposition’s conciliatory approach seriously.
The head of JUI-F, Gohar Ali Khan, the chairman of the PTI, and other party officials spoke to the media late on Thursday in Islamabad. They stated: “We are engaging with the government with absolute open-heartedness.”
He has, however, issued a warning, saying that “we will reject it once again” if the federal government submits the same text as previously.
Rehman, 71, restated that he still finds the government’s original blueprint objectionable, even though his party rejected it.
