ISLAMABAD: In a late Wednesday night development, National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser issued production orders for Pakistan People Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique – paving way for them to attend the budget session.
Both the leaders were arrested by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in separate corruption cases.
The opposition was agitating the issue in the lower house of parliament, paralysing the budget session. On Tuesday, the speaker had called leaders from both the treasury and the opposition to his chamber, in an effort to restore sanity to house business.
During the in-chamber session, an understanding was reached between both the sides of the aisles to let the house function normally and begin a debate on the money bill.
It was because the understanding that the house witnessed a relatively calm during the general debate on the budget.
Senior PPP leader Syed Khursheed Shah confirmed the development, saying the speaker personally informed him about the move. “Better late than never,” he remarked.
