ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The ruling coalition is likely to table the much-talked about constitutional amendment bill in the National Assembly on Oct 18.

According to sources, the government has barred its members of parliament (MPs) from going abroad till Oct 18 in the wake of 26th amendment.

The government has also directed the former MNAs who were earlier de-notified by the ECP, to reach Islamabad on Oct 17.

It is being speculated that the ECP may take back its earlier decision of de-notifying the MNAs before the NA session.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had agreed on constitutional amendment during a meeting held in Islamabad.
