Senate session to be held today on opposition’s requisition

•  House will discuss Kashmir issue and future strategy of the government in this regard.
• 'Political victimization' of opposition party members will also come under discussion.

A Senate session will be held on Tuesday at the Parliament House, which has been summoned on the requisition of the opposition parties.

The session will begin at 4:00 pm today. The session has been summoned by opposition members including Sherry Rehman, Raja Zafarul Haq, Raza Rabbani, Perviaz Rasheed, Atta ur Rehman among others. The members will discuss the Kashmir crisis and the lock down in Indian-occupied Kashmir. The senators will also discuss the strategy and efforts of the government in this matter.

The session will also discuss the economic condition, increase of oil, gas and electricity prices, while the 'political victimization' of opposition party members will also come under discussion.

"The House may discuss the government’s decision to dissolve Pakistan Medical and Dental Council through an ordinance, inspite of the fact that a similar ordinance was rejected earlier by the Senate," a notification issued by the Senate read.

The session will also discuss the alleged censorship and dictorial ban on media, 'which is a direct act on the fundamental right on the freedom of speech and violation of Article 19 of the constitution'.
