Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar has defended the proposal of amendments to six ordinances and the introduction of another in the National Assembly.

Speaking in the NA, he assailed the PTI for opposing the ordinance, saying: “The country will not go on like this. You should do some soul-searching; writing letters to the IMF and EU will not do you any good.”

Tarar recalled that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had issued directives to constitute NA committees regardless of how many seats parties had in the parliament.

“The moment they (ordinances) have been laid in front of this house, they will be converted into bills. Now, these bills are to be referred to the committees by the House,” the law minister said. He asserted that most of the parties and the opposition were present in those committees.
