With the current government attempting to introduce a constitutional package, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman gained prominence as both the ruling coalition and the opposition attempted to court the politician to gain his support in the legislature.
In an effort to offset the opposition’s attempts to obtain the magic number needed to enact a constitutional amendment, Fazl has convened several crucial meetings with both the ruling coalition and the opposition.
The potential of the aforementioned constitutional package is being discussed amid rumors about an extension of Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa’s term, as he is scheduled to retire in October.
