ISLAMABAD – The same page number was shared with forgetful civilian leaders in the Senate on Tuesday, The Dependent has learnt.
This was a historic moment in a country where the civilians have long believed that they are on the same page, but historically haven’t even been aware of the page number.
Not just the exact page number, but the paragraph and line, along with between the line was shared during the in-camera session of the Senate committee of the house, sources told The Dependent.
“Not to mention the name of the book itself, along with the shelf number and the name of the library as well,” a Senator told The Dependent.
“That is why it took four hours for the session to get wrapped up. Each one of us was asked to repeat the library name, book name, shelf number, chapter number, page number, paragraph, and line, ten times. Some of us did it more easily than others,” the Senator added.
Meanwhile, Senate Chairman Mian Raza Rabbani criticised lawmakers for leaking details of the in-camera briefing to The Dependent, saying they had violated the sanctity of the upper house by doing so.
“Of all the publications in the world…” Rabbani said while talking to the Senators.
