ISLAMABAD: The constitutional amendment bill has delayed once again, as the government has failed to appease Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) chief Fazlur Rehman.

As per sources, the bill will be table after 10-12 days in the National Assembly as the ruling alliance has been unable to convince Fazlur Rehman to support the bill, which aims to establish a constitutional court and several other amendments.

JUI Chief Fazlur Rehman has taken a strict stance, stating that such constitutional amendments cannot be rush. The JUI chief has also sought time to reconsider the reformation of the Judicial Commission.

On the other side, the federal government has claimed that the bill will be pass without the votes of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members, sources added.

Sources further claimed that the bill had been under discussion for a long time, but Maulana Fazl has taken a U-turn over his decisions.
