ISLAMABAD: The opposition uproar and walkout in the Senate on Friday marred the proceedings, as the government managed to push through five bills, taking advantage of the opposition senators’ limited presence in the House.
PPP parliamentary leader Sherry Rehman strongly agitated against the taking up of supplementary agenda and insisted the bills passed after voting on the two bills listed on the orders of the day was a bulldozed legislation, having no value.
After the question hour on the last day of the current session, the opposition opposed FATF-related the Mutual Legal Assistance (Criminal Matters) (Amendment) Bill, 2021 when Chairman Senate Muhammad Sadiq Sanjrani sought the leave of the House to allow introduction of the bill.
