Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has cancelled all official visits planned by federal ministers and members of parliament as discussions continue on the proposed 27th Constitutional Amendment. The decision was taken to ensure that government leaders stay available for consultation and consensus-building with political parties across the country.
According to government sources, the prime minister believes that the amendment process requires full attention and continuous coordination. By suspending travel plans, the government aims to keep all key political figures present in Islamabad for meetings and negotiations. The move signals the seriousness of the administration’s efforts to reach a political agreement.
The 27th amendment has become a central topic in recent political dialogue. Although specific details of the amendment have not been officially released, it is believed to involve changes related to administrative structures and provincial coordination. Political analysts say that such changes require broad support to avoid future disagreements in parliament.
Officials stated that all ministries have been instructed to prioritize policy discussions over travel commitments. The prime minister has also told cabinet members to maintain close contact with party leadership and coalition partners. The goal is to ensure clarity and avoid confusion regarding the proposed changes.
The government is also expected to engage with opposition leaders in the coming days. While some parties have expressed willingness to review the amendment, others have demanded clarity on its objectives. Political observers note that building consensus will require open communication and mutual trust.
Public response to the news has been mixed. Supporters say that focusing on national dialogue is a responsible step. Critics, however, argue that the government should first share detailed information about the amendment before seeking consensus. Many citizens are waiting for an official statement explaining what adjustments the 27th amendment may introduce and how it will impact governance.
Recent developments in the judicial and legal arena have also contributed to Pakistan’s dynamic political environment. For instance, the Islamabad court recently issued non-bailable warrants and ordered the arrest of Ali Amin Gandapur in the audio leak case. The case added another layer of national political attention.
As discussions move forward, government representatives are expected to hold multiple rounds of talks. The final version of the amendment will likely be introduced in parliament after consultations are completed.
For now, all ministers remain in Islamabad, and the situation continues to evolve as negotiations progress.
