Political Polarization Intensifies in Pakistan Over Legislative Amendments

Rana Sanaullah Khan criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for avoiding dialogue, amid political tensions over legislative changes. The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) called for more deliberation on amendments, while PTI plans to boycott voting, signaling deepening political divides, ARY News reports.

Rana Sanaullah Khan, a prominent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) figure, has criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for their lack of willingness to engage in dialogue. Highlighting the party's consistent political stance over the past decade, Sanaullah remarked that PTI does not embrace consensus-building or dialogue-centric politics, ARY News reported.

Elaborating further, Sanaullah accused the PTI of duplicity, alleging that while they claim to consult, their actions suggest otherwise. These comments come amidst heightened political tensions in Pakistan, focusing on Tehreek-e-Insaf's engagement with legislative matters.

In parallel developments, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) has requested additional time for better assessment of proposed legislative amendments. According to informed sources, the JUI-F expressed concern over swiftly passing changes without adequate consultations, recommending the government avoid hastened decisions that might have unforeseen outcomes, ARY News conveyed.

During a meeting, the final draft of the proposed amendments was shared with JUI-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who emphasized the necessity for further dialogues to fully comprehend their implications. Amidst these deliberations, PTI's Political Committee has declared its intent to boycott the parliamentary voting process on constitutional amendments, ARY News documented.

The Committee's official communication highlighted plans to protest against PTI's National Assembly and Senate members who participate in the vote, alluding to an expanding rift within the national political framework, according to ANI.
