Overview
- PML-N adviser Rana Sanaullah said the party will announce a near-term decision on creating new provinces and that the issue will be debated at its next Sunday meeting.
- Sanaullah framed the federal government as stable and urged institutions to work within constitutional limits, rejecting suggestions the administration faces an imminent threat.
- He challenged the Pakistan Peoples Party to join any no-confidence effort with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and warned such a move would cost participating parties politically.
- Sanaullah criticized Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s social-media style as unserious political messaging and said PML-N expects to form the Azad Kashmir government while alleged voting irregularities will be corrected after the count.
- Separately, lawyers for the PTI founder challenged alleged solitary confinement and gaps in his jail health report at Islamabad High Court, which has reserved a decision and is expected to issue orders next week.
