LAHORE, Jun 18 (APP):Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs, Naeem-ul-Haq on Tuesday warned the opposition in the parliament to lodge their protest while remaining within the ambit, otherwise law would take its due course.
He was briefing media persons here at PTI Secretariat, where PTI’s new President (Punjab) Ejaz Chaudhry and other party leaders also accompanied him.
Naeemul Haq explained that National Assembly (NA) had 38 standing committees, which had crucial role in the legislation.
The opposition had assured the government of extending cooperation in running the house business/legislation process, if it was given chairmanship of these committees as well as Public Accounts Committee’s (PAC) Chairmanship to NA Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif.
Agreeing with the opposition demands, the PTI’s government had retained chairmanship of 20 committees only and the rest 18 were being headed by the opposition, besides giving PAC chairmanship to Shehbaz Sharif despite all contentions.
