ISLAMABAD: Only seven government bills are pending in the Senate where the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) plans to conduct aggressive legislation after its numerical strength improved following the March election to half of the upper house.
However, despite its greater strength, the ruling coalition is not likely to enjoy smooth sailing in the Senate.
An indication of this came when a resolution sponsored by an opposition senator was recently passed, defeating the government that opposed it.
The motion related to the prices of COVID-19 vaccines being provided to the people on a commercial basis.
