Three important bills, including two amendments to OGRA Ordinance passed in upper house


Islamabad: The opposition on Thursday once again has been defeated in Senate despite the numerical majority and the government achieved success to pass three bills.
The government managed to get the House to pass three important bills, including two amendments to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority Ordinance.
The opposition disagree on the bill and said that the government is delegating powers from the federation to the authorities at the behest of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with government members taking the position that the purpose of these bills is to empower the authorities.
The OGRA was once again introduced by Ali Muhammad Khan in the Upper House and the opposition parties walk out of House. Opposition member Senator Mushtaq also brought an amendment in the bill and said that he could not attend the standing committee meeting, therefore he wanted to amend it. On which the Senate Chairman said that you cannot take the amendment now.
Shibli Faraz said that this is against the tradition. When the committee presented its report on the bill, then separate amendment is not appropriate. Let this bill be passed.
Yousaf Raza said the government should assure that the amendment of the opposition member will be considered later. To which Shibli Faraz replied that we assure that we will see his bill later. He requested that Senator Mushtaq should be given the chance to speak in the house.
