The Senate was informed on Friday that there is no moratorium on death penalty in the country.
Minister of State for Interior Balighur Rehman told the House during question hour that former president Asif Zardari did not implement the death penalties.
He said execution of death sentences was delayed but the government was in the process of consultations to take a decision over the issue.
The minister informed the House that 547 people were on the death row for their involvement in murders and terrorism. He said that 70 mercy petitions have already been rejected.
