National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq has called for the establishment of a ‘Charter of Parliament’ to encourage cooperation between the government and opposition, stressing the need for a unified approach to running the House.
“If the opposition will not speak here, where will it speak?” the speaker Ayaz Sadiq remarked, urging both sides to engage in constructive dialogue.
Ayaz Sadiq expressed his determination to address the issues facing the Assembly, stating, “What my conscience said, what was my responsibility, I did.”
He further highlighted the importance of transparency, adding, “I will try to get to the bottom of what happened.”
He was referring to the incident of PTI MNA’s arrest from the Parliament and so far five security men of the Lower House of the Parliament have been suspended.
The House unanimously passed a resolution to form a 16-member committee aimed at improving parliamentary proceedings.
The committee, which will have equal representation from both the government and opposition, was announced by Atta Tarrar, who emphasized the need for collaboration.
Ayaz Sadiq reiterated that the successful functioning of the House requires the joint efforts of both the government and opposition, declaring, “Neither the government alone nor the opposition alone can run the House.”
