Government Believes It Can Pass Amendment Without Maulana: Nusrat Javaid

ISLAMABAD – Senior journalist Nusrat Javaid, speaking on Public News, has commented on the political dynamics surrounding the upcoming constitutional amendment.

Javaid noted a significant shift in the ruling party’s strategy, contrasting it with past political manoeuvres.

“During the 26th Constitutional Amendment, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari frequently visited Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman’s house,” Javaid said. “But this time, the ruling party’s thinking is to show that they can get the amendment passed even without making rounds of Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman’s house.”

Javaid suggested this new resolve was strengthened by a recent incident. “There was recent talk of giving Ulema (scholars) 10,000 or 25,000. The Maulana responded, ‘I’ll throw it in their face.’ Since then, the belief within the ruling party has grown stronger that the Maulana should not have gone that far.”
