Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Lahore on Sunday to discuss the proposed 27th Constitutional Amendment. The meeting was attended by prominent figures including former Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, Punjab Governor Sardar Salim Haider, Adviser to the Prime Minister Rana Sanaullah, and National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq.
This high-profile meeting follows the recent approval of the 26th Constitutional Amendment in both the National Assembly and the Senate. While the amendment received backing from Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), other opposition parties raised concerns.
During the discussion, Bilawal commended the passage of the 26th Amendment, describing it as a significant milestone toward bolstering democracy and enhancing the effectiveness of parliament. He stressed that the amendment serves as a safeguard against anti-democratic influences and underscored PPP’s dedication to collaborative efforts for democratic progress.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed his appreciation for the role of all coalition parties in achieving this legislative success. He emphasized his administration’s commitment to public service and shared that a noticeable reduction in inflation had been recorded, which he attributed to improved economic indicators and policies aimed at stabilizing the economy.
The discussions reflect a shared vision among coalition partners for strengthening the democratic framework and addressing the nation’s pressing challenges. The PPP Chairman’s remarks underscored a commitment to working hand in hand with the government to sustain democratic principles, ensuring that recent legislative advancements contribute to long-term stability and prosperity.
