ISLAMABAD: Following the introduction of eight private members bills, the opposition staged a walkout in the National Assembly on Tuesday against tabling of three presidential ordinances which were later extended for another 120 days.
The opposition and the treasury members exchanged harsh words over the Journalists’ Protection Bill presented by Human Rights Minister Dr Shireen Mazari as it claimed that it was an old bill but the government wanted to take credit for it.
Soon after the walkout, opposition member Ibrar Ali Shah pointed out the quorum and the session started after 20 minutes.
