The PML-N-led federal government has decided to fully involve its coalition partner, the Pakistan Peoples Party, in the legislative process to ensure a smoother legislative process.

Under a new arrangement, prior consultations and approval from the PPP will be mandatory before any government bill is tabled in parliament.

According to official sources, the Prime Minister’s House has issued formal instructions to the Ministry of Law and Justice, stating that no bill will be presented in parliament without the party’s endorsement.

The sources said the move follows the return of certain bills by the president, after which the government opted to adopt a more coordinated approach with its allies.

To facilitate this process, a committee comprising coalition parties has been established under the leadership of PPP senior leader Sherry Rehman to consult on proposed legislation.

Under the new strategy, coalition parties will first be consulted, followed by obtaining PPP approval, and only then will government bills be introduced in Parliament.

Government circles said the initiative aims to strengthen harmony within the ruling coalition and ensure that the legislative agenda progresses without interruptions.

Meanwhile, PPP sources indicated that the party will continue to evaluate each bill in the context of public interest before offering its opinion.

Officials added that the new procedure will be implemented immediately, with its practical effects expected to become visible in the coming days.
