ISLAMABAD: Former Senate chairman Senator Mian Raza Rabbani Monday moved a bill in the Senate, seeking massive empowerment of the Upper House of the Parliament, for which a series of resolutions were already adopted with consensus in the last few years.
The proposed law seeks extensive powers for the Senate through amendments in a number of articles of the Constitution. Sparing a few amendments, the government did not oppose the move and allowed to be referred to the House standing committee concerned for deliberations and report. The bill envisages effectively enforcement of participatory federalism, ensuring provincial autonomy and providing a meaningful participation to the provinces and other territories in the Federation.
