National Assembly (NA) Wednesday approved a resolution presented by law minister Farooq H Naik to indemnify steps taken by former premier Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani.
Law Minister presented the resolution seeking extension for 120 days in respect of already endorsed ordinance-2012 under para A ,clause 2 of article 89 of the constitution.
Zahid Hamid from PML-N while opposing it said why the government felt need to table resolution when the matter was already under discussion in standing committee. Attempts were being made to indemnify the steps of a prime minister who had been declared disqualified by the Supreme Court, he added.
Despite objection from PML-N, Faisal Karim Kundi, deputy speaker NA approved the resolution.
