Senate, National Assembly meet today



The Senate and the National Assembly meeting on Monday at 5:00 pm.

It will be most likely the last sitting of the National Assembly before it completes its five-year term on March 16 and the Senate will be meeting for its 91st session.

The government will be deprived of the MQM support, which has announced to quit the ruling alliance and likely to request formally for allotment of seats on the opposition benches in the National Assembly and the Senate today.

About the bills the government might push through the National Assembly in its last session, the government had one important bill at hand, for the creation of the province of Bahawalpur-Janoobi Punjab comprising territories of Multan, Bahawalpur and Dera Ghazi Khan divisions and districts of Mianwali and Bhakkar. The  bill had already been presented in the Senate and it was lying with the committee concerned.

The National Assembly is likely to take up government bills for setting up the National Counter Terrorism Authority, Defence Housing Authority Islamabad and Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Medical University. The bills introduced in the house during its last sitting and are pending with the committees concerned.
