ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly session was again prorogued on Thursday for lack of quorum, as the opposition walked out of the House to protest delay by the government in tabling the Fata reforms bill. The opposition parties walked out of House at the start of proceedings against non-inclusion of Fata reforms bill in the agenda and then pointed out lack of quorum leading to suspension of proceedings.
The quorum could not be completed on resumption, leaving the speaker with no option but to prorogue the session. ?The government has crushed hopes of the people of Fata for the sake of its political interests,? PPP leader Syed Naveed Qamar said before walking out of the House. He maintained that the opposition would not compromise on interests of tribal people and continue to boycott proceedings till introduction of bill in the assembly.
He said the government should now learn lessons from its mistakes. Federal Minister for States and Frontier Regions (Safron) Abdul Qadar Baloch said the government was committed to moving the bill in the National Assembly. However, he asked the opposition to give the government some more time so that the legislation could be made acceptable to all the stakeholders and political parties.
?We want some more time so that the bill is made acceptable to all,? he said.
He maintained that the PML-N, which had taken up the task of implementation of Fata reforms would fulfill its commitment while taking credit for the achievement.
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) ameer Senator Sirajul Haq had also given the government December 31 deadline to get the Fata reforms bill passed by the National Assembly by December 31.He had also threatened the government with staging a sit-in the federal capital along with people from tribal areas till they were brought in the national mainstream and made part of the KP province.
