Re: Role of Opposition
No I did not. I said even one person in opposition can play hell with the government even it is ruled by dictator. Your people never debated in the parliament, they simply cowardly walked out. How dumb and stupid they are.
They never argued in the parliament on other most important issues I have already mentioned in my earlier post. Don't you agree this opposition is just fighting personal feud with Zardari?
If you have missed it, Ishaq Daar in the senate, asked for two days time to read the bill and then have a debate on it and that was in senate, in the NA, the oppostion asked for the debate, but your zardari wanted this bill to be pased in record time, so no debate ever happened, the bill just got approved on the basis of majority.... tell me did the deputy speaker allowed a debate in the house on the issue or he simply issued the verdict that the bill has been approved, same happened in Senate.... when govt is not ready to listen, when govt do not want to have debate and all the focus and intention is there to use the parliament as a rubber stamp, then my dear debates do not take place as they are no allowed by the govt to happen, which exactly happened here...
Now once the bill is approved, no matter what opposition says doesn't matter because debates take place before the approval of the bill and not after the approval, and that is an urgent session called by the govt, where the regular session was only few days away...
The bill is perfect example of using the majority for bad law making in the history of the parliament of the world.
Just for your Info, following are the procedures normally followed for the approval of a bill
1) Submitting the bill in the agenda of the NA
2) Distributing the copies of the Bill to all the parliamentarians so they can study it
3) Forwarding the bill to relevant working group/committee to study the draft and finalize it
OR Bill is debated in the Parliament, where parties speaks in favor and against or modification of the bill
3) once above is done, then the bill go for the voting in the NA...
In the case of this bill, Bill was not on the agenda, the draft of the bill was not given to the parliamentarians, the draft or the content of the bill was not debated because no enough time was given, the only thing they did is, presented the bill and approved it in recored amount of time, that is 60 minutes...
I still do not know, why govt was in such a hurry... the bill got approved is against the spirit of the constitution, the govt never wanted to have this bill discussed, debate in the assembly nor in the media or in the public so that the bill might get rejected by the allies because of public pressure...
do you have any idea why the Judges of the SC have called for the record of this bill, yeah you may have guessed it write because they wanted to know if the procedure has been followed for this bill.... so there are many grounds that this bill is going to be thrown out of the window...
