The Senate Standing Committee on Law and Justice has referred the Constitutional (Amendment) Bill, 2025 — which seeks to amend Article 153 to ensure women’s representation in the Council of Common Interests (CCI) — to the prime minister, who heads the CCI. A separate amendment bill introduced by Senator Zeeshan Khanzada, proposing changes to Article 228 for women’s inclusion in the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), was deferred, with the committee deciding to wait for the CII’s formal feedback. Chaired by Senator Farooq Hamid Naek, the committee held detailed deliberations on key constitutional and legal reforms aimed at strengthening justice, equality, and women’s rights in Pakistan.
