ISLAMABAD:
Right after taking the oath of office in August 2018, Prime Minister Imran Khan had promised to empower parliament and to attend the National Assembly sittings at least twice a month to answer lawmakers’ questions.
However, a comparison of the data of the first two-and-a-half-years rule of PM Imran with his predecessor Nawaz Sharif shows that Imran attended fewer sittings than Sharif.
According to the Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen), between August 13, 2018 and February 4, 2021, the National Assembly held 28 sessions that comprised 198 sittings.
ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Accountability and Interior Mirza Shahzad Akbar on Sunday unveiled that the government had recovered Rs210 billion from land grabbers, adding that 36 of these people belong to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Illegally occupied state land worth billions of rupees had been retrieved from PML-N’s stalwarts, including Khurram Dastagir, Senator Chaudhary Tanveer, Javed Hashmi, Khawaja Asif, Abid Sher Ali, Malik Saiful Malook Khokhar, Daniyal Aziz and Javed Latif, he said.
