ISLAMABAD
\nInformation Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Sunday that efforts are underway to forge a broader consensus between the government and the opposition on key constitutional amendments. The delay in progress, he noted, is due to ongoing consultations.
\nSpeaking to the media outside the Parliament in Islamabad, the minister assured that any proposed legislation would be in the collective interest of the nation. He noted that the judiciary has faced delays in resolving cases for many decades, making it imperative to implement measures for quicker justice.
\nTarar described the current moment as a significant juncture in Pakistan\u2019s history. He highlighted that the promise to facilitate justice was a key component of the Charter of Democracy. He stressed that the government is committed to improving the justice system in the country. He stated that these amendments are expected to bring positive changes to the lives of every Pakistani.
\nThe minister asserted that Parliament has the authority to amend the constitution and laws, and it is the duty of elected representatives to enact legislation that benefits the public.
\nHe further explained that the process of consultation on the constitutional amendments is ongoing and aims to be completed positively. Tarar expressed hope that progress would be made today, with updates to be provided to the media soon. He attributed the delays solely to the consultation process, noting that meetings have taken place with key figures, including Maulana Fazlur Rehman and a delegation from the Pakistan Peoples Party. Tarar acknowledged that constitutional amendments are a serious matter and may involve delays. However, he believes that thorough discussions and consensus-building will lead to beneficial outcomes. He expressed optimism that when the amendments are presented, they will be well-received by the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
