Constitutional amendment: PTI delegation seeks more time from Fazl

Efforts to reach a consensus on the 26th Constitutional Amendment are accelerating. Following a meeting with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), a delegation from the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) visited Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman’s residence for consultations.

Media reports indicate that Bilawal Bhutto also met with Akhtar Mengal, the head of the Balochistan National Party (Mengal), at Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman’s residence.

Bilawal Bhutto was accompanied by Naveed Qamar, Murtaza Wahab, and Sherry Rehman.

The PTI delegation included Barrister Gohar, Suleman Akram Raja, Asad Qaisar, and others. Hameed Raza, chairman of the Sunni Ittehad Council, was also part of the delegation.

Before visiting Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman’s residence, the PPP delegation met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the Prime Minister’s House to discuss the political situation and coordinate their approach.
