As part of the discussions surrounding the government's proposed constitutional amendments, meetings with Maulana Fazl ur Rehman, head of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, are continuing, according to Express News.

Sources stated that former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif, along with his brother and current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, will also visit Rehman at his residence on Sunday.
