Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif hosted a dinner for parliamentarians, urging them to uphold the sanctity of parliament and support legislative efforts in the national interest. He emphasized the importance of legislating in the best interests of the country and its people, highlighting the role of parliament as the supreme institution. Shehbaz also pointed out the government’s success in stabilizing the economy and stressed the need for political stability to sustain economic progress.
During the dinner, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar briefed coalition partners on proposed constitutional amendments to establish a separate court within the Supreme Court for matters of public interest. The parliamentarians in attendance assured the prime minister of their support for the amendments.
In addition, the prime minister urged members to ensure their presence at the upcoming parliamentary session and revealed that a federal cabinet meeting had been scheduled to approve the draft amendment. However, the government is currently short by eight members to achieve the required two-thirds majority, and efforts to secure the support of JUI-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman have not been successful so far.
