National Assembly Passes Three Bills in Contentious Session
Two additional bills introduced in the Lower House, while two lapsed ordinances laid before it
Pakistan’s National Assembly on Monday passed three bills The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Authority Bill 2020, The Public-Private Partnership Authority (Amendment) Bill 2020, and The Pakistan Single Window Bill 2020 during a session marred by protests from the opposition
Adviser to the P.M. on Parliamentary Affairs Babar Awan tabled the ordinances shortly after Question Hour, but was met with derision from opposition lawmakers, who demanded the floor to debate the government’s notification of an increase in prices of fuel products the fifth time in the past two months.

ISLAMABAD:
The opposition kept shouting slogans, “
Jago Jago, Speaker Jago!” [wake up, wake up, speaker wake up] exactly when Asad Qaiser was busy bulldozing the opposition’s “B-Team” by passing one bill after another and sarcastically asking them to take the floor and give speeches instead of protesting around his desk.
Commotion had almost no effect on the speaker and he did not pay any heed to the opposition’s vapid sloganeering a day after the deadline given by the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – an anti-government alliance of the opposition parties formed in last September – to Prime Minister Imran Khan to resign fell flat on its face.
