The National Assembly witnessed a noisy session on Wednesday as the government presented the 26th constitutional amendment bill in the lower house that seeks open balloting in the Senate elections.
Minister for Law and Justice Farogh Naseem presented the bill amid loud sloganeering and protest by the opposition benches. We are amending the Constitution, not stealing the election, the minister said while responding to the opposition s criticism.
Speaker Asad Qaiser invited Naseem to speak about the salient features of the bill, but he could hardly do so due to the ruckus before the speaker announced a recess.
