National Assembly Passes Three Bills in Contentious Session
Two additional bills introduced in the Lower House, while two lapsed ordinances laid before it
Pakistan’s National Assembly on Monday passed three bills—The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Authority Bill 2020, The Public-Private Partnership Authority (Amendment) Bill 2020, and The Pakistan Single Window Bill 2020—during a session marred by protests from the opposition
Adviser to the P.M. on Parliamentary Affairs Babar Awan tabled the ordinances shortly after Question Hour, but was met with derision from opposition lawmakers, who demanded the floor to debate the government’s notification of an increase in prices of fuel products—the fifth time in the past two months.
