ISLAMABAD (92 News) - After a failure to garner enough support in the Parliament yesterday, the federal government is set to make another attempt today to pass the proposed constitutional amendment bill in the National Assembly and the Senate.

The federal ministers held a series of meetings with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman yesterday to woo him to support the government in the Parliament for passing the proposed constitutional amendment bill.
