\nAdviser to the Prime Minister, Rana Sanaullah on Thursday said PML-N believes in empowering local governments down to the union council level and stressed that this must be done with the consensus of all parties, especially the PPP. While speaking to a local news channel, Sanaullah emphasized that the local government system can only succeed with political consensus, adding, empowering union councils and ensuring effective grassroots democracy requires cooperation and agreement among all political parties.
\nSanaullah added that without a united approach, efforts to strengthen local government institutions risk being undermined. He further highlighted that any changes to the 18th Amendment should also be made with broad consensus, ensuring that reforms are acceptable to all major political stakeholders. Rana Sanaullah called for a strict investigation against those involved in violating construction regulations.
\nHe emphasized that all individuals or entities responsible for unauthorized construction must be held accountable to prevent similar incidents in the future. Sanaullah further stated that enforcing building laws is crucial to ensure public safety and urban order. He urged the authorities to take immediate action and send a clear message that violations of construction rules will not be tolerated.
\nRana Sanaullah said authorities will not permit any meeting with PTI members before the February 8 protest, citing public safety concerns and stressing that all actions must be under the rule of law. Sanaullah added that PTI can approach the Islamabad High Court or submit an application to hold meetings, but given their past record of violating rules, such requests should be considered only if they provide an undertaking to maintain law and order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
