ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf-led coalition government has significantly reduced its reliance on presidential ordinances for doing legislation during the third parliamentary year of the National Assembly as compared to the previous year when the ordinances had outnumbered the laws passed by the parliament.
The official data shows that during the third parliamentary year ending on August 12, the government has so far promulgated 18 ordinances, including the three controversial ordinances seeking changes to the country’s election and tax laws.
