ISLAMABAD: The federal government will tomorrow (Monday) introduce a “key bill” on the Supreme Court which was delayed earlier this week apparently due to a lack of consensus among coalition partners.
The time of tomorrow’s Lower House of Parliament session has been changed from 5 pm to 4 pm. The seven-point agenda for the National Assembly session includes “important” legislation.
Among the items presented are the Supreme Court (Practice and Procedure) Amendment Ordinance as well as a note of concern regarding Pakistan’s 129th ranking in the Rule of Law Index.
A motion to express gratitude for President Asif Ali Zardari’s address from the joint meeting is part of the agenda. Moreover, it includes Alia Kamran’s note of concern regarding the grounding of the PIA plane, as well as a question-and-answer session and points of order.
The government intends to introduce legislation in both the National Assembly and the Senate, directing government members to ensure their presence in the House.
According to the sources, approval of the Anti-Terrorism Amendment Bill is expected during the meeting.
In September, President Asif Zardari signed the Practice and Procedure Amendment Ordinance.
