Re: Karachi stock market crashes 1300 points
Perhaps you have still not understood the way this party (PMLN) works…or perhaps you understand it, and refuse to acknowledge the obvious.
Last year, PTI participated in the bill debate. Ishaq Dar was absent in most sessions anyway, so it hardly mattered. The boycott they staged was to protest the GST levy, despite SC having struck it down, and it was a single session boycott. When you have a monarch party that is not even willing to entertain SC decisions, what makes you think they will entertain any opposition?
By the way, all the amendments that were presented by the govt (Ishaq Dar) were accepted…and all of those presented by the opposition were rejected. PTI did not present any amendments because, as I said before, the govt was not even listening to the SC. Debate was wrapped up in a week.
This year again, PTI actively participated in the debates, but take one look at the news, and you will find that the finance minister was not present in any of the debates. So what exactly do you expect PTI to do in such circumstances?
In Punjab, all opposition motions were rejected by the treasury, which is why the opposition boycotted. You still want a debate in such circumstances? Its a surprise anyone even bothers going to the assembly in light of the autocratic approach adopted by this govt.
