ISLAMABAD: June 08, 2015. (PCP) The entire opposition in the National Assembly walked out of the House for two hours and 40 minutes, calling upon the government to broadcast their budget speeches live on television, says Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN). The opposition came back to the House only after getting assurance from the Minister of Information and Broadcasting to telecast the budget session live from tomorrow onwards. Meanwhile, the Minister for Law, Justice and Human Rights presented the Finance (Amendment) Ordinance, 2015 in the House. The House did not take up two calling attention notices (CANs) regarding the alleged irregularities in the recent Local Government elections in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and non-payment of pension to the pensioners/beneficiaries by the Employees’ Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) at the rate announced during the previous budget. The Prime Minister did not attend the sitting while the Leader of the Opposition and Finance Minister were present during the entire sitting. State Minister for Parliamentary Affairs tabled a motion to suspend the question hour, calling attention notices (CANs) and points of order during the current budget session which was passed by the House.
