NA passed contempt bill in only 68 minutes
ISLAMABAD: According to a report by the Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) group, the Contempt of Court Bill 2012 was rushed through the 44th session of the National Assembly (NA) in only one hour and eight minutes, to be sent to the upper house of parliament for approval.
The 13-article bill, which has provided some relief to holders of public offices vis-à-vis contempt of court, was passed with a simple majority in the house.
A total of 150 MNAs were present during the passage of the bill. The main opposition party, PML-N, along with some other parties, protested against the bill.

I actually do not see anything wrong in this because everything is decided by party heads and MNAs are not allowed to bother their thinking abilities anyway.
