Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that hopefully the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will extend support on the constitutional amendment.
Addressing the press conference flanked by Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari in the wee hours of Sunday, Rehman said: "Today, we get the PTI's response."
Rehman said: "I got a positive message from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, on which I express my gratitude."
"We will be able to vote during the parliament sessions. We are waiting for today over the matter," said Rehman.
"There is no major controversy over the draft," said Rehman.
Both the PPP and JUI-F had reached the consensus on the constitutional amendment. The government has agreed to withdraw the areas of the initial draws on which we had raised objections.
Fazl seeks one day
Meanwhile, Bhutto-Zardari said: "It is my desire that Fazlur Rehman himself presents the bill. I hope that Maulana Fazlur Rehmman will convince the PTI over the matter."
"Hopefully, Maulana Fazlur Rehman will agree to my request," he added.
Earlier on Saturday, it was reported that Rehman had sought one day to table the constitutional amendment.
According to details, Rehman's residence has emerged as a political hub as members of both the government and opposition converge to discuss the 26th constitutional amendment.
With unanimous approval on the horizon, law minister Azam Nazeer Tarar delivered the final draft of the amendment directly to Fazlur Rehman.
The atmosphere at the JUI-F chief's residence had been charged, with various political leaders making intermittent visits throughout the day.
