ISLAMABAD:
Members on the opposition benches in the National Assembly criticised the government on Friday for hurriedly convening the session of the lower house of parliament, terming it an insult to the democratic norms.
Senior opposition leaders Ahsan Iqbal of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Syed Naveed Qamar of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) said that the government was not taking the parliamentary matters seriously.
Speaker Asad Qaiser chaired the session. At the outset, Ahsan Iqbal took the floor and pointed out that the members found out late last night about the session in the morning. “Even members of the union council get the notice 72 hours prior to the meeting,” he said.
