Sixth NA session to start from Monday

—Shehbaz Sharif to attend session

ISLAMABAD: The sixth National Assembly session will commence from Monday at the Parliament House, which will be chaired by National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser.

The session has been summoned by President Dr Arif Alvi at 4pm and will discuss important national issues besides routine proceeding.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif is expected to attend the assembly session after the NA speaker issued the production order for the detained opposition leader.

It has been reported that Qaisar has directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the concerned authorities to bring Shehbaz Sharif to attend the session on a daily basis under the rules.

“Presence of Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif during the said session was necessary, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by rule 108 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of the business in the National Assembly 2007, the speaker has been pleased to summon Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif,” Qaiser stated in a production order issued by the National Assembly Secretariat.

Shehbaz Sharif was in custody due to an ongoing NAB probe in the case of Punjab Land Development Company and Lahore Development Authority.
