JUI-F Stands Firm Amid Constitutional Amendment Rumors

The JUI-F under Maulana Fazlur Rehman denies supporting a proposed constitutional amendment by the ruling coalition led by PML-N. Despite rumors, the decision has been postponed at JUI-F's request. JUI-F insists on having a separate constitutional bench and expresses skepticism over the amendment.

The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), led by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, has dismissed circulating rumors suggesting their endorsement of a PML-N-led constitutional amendment. This development follows reports indicating the amendment's postponement at JUI-F's request, as reported by The Dawn.

JUI-F sources maintain their opposition to what they've termed a 'disputed' amendment. The party insists the government postponed the amendment discussions at Maulana Rehman's urging, expecting deliberations post-SCO summit.

Despite attending a multi-party session, Maulana Rehman's stance remains unchanged. The JUI-F calls for a separate constitutional court, voicing concerns over the government's amendment handling. The ruling coalition seeks a two-thirds majority, engaging with multiple parties to secure necessary votes.
