Chair adjourns NA session over quorum issue

ISLAMABAD - The treasury bench­es in Thursday’s National As­sembly sitting once again faced embarrassment due to lack of required quorum to run the proceedings. With the on­set of the proceedings, a law­maker from opposition bench­es pointed out quorum in the House. The chair had no option but to adjourn the proceedings as nearly 50 MPs from both sides of the aisle were present in the hall.

The opposition and coalition partner of ruling par­ty [PPP) had time and again ex­pressed concerns over the ab­sence of Ministers and State Ministers during the proceed­ings of the House. Pakistan Peoples Party [PPP] members had even threatened to walk out from the proceedings, if the concerned ministers will not be absent from the proceed­ings during the Question-Hour. Deputy Speaker, in the last ses­sion, had conveyed to write a letter to Prime Minister over the disinterest of federal cabi­net members in the house.
