ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly session met again and the debate resumed on Tuesday on the two government bills aimed to set up constitutionally protected military courts to try civilian terrorism suspects.
Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly, Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah, delivered the opening speech of the session during which he said that the debate over the establishment of military courts is being carried out in every corner and on every media channel of Pakistan.
The two bills – the Constitution (Twenty-first Amendment) Bill and the Pakistan Army (Amendment) — were expected to have been passed a day earlier but voting was deferred after the government fell short of the required two-thirds majority – 228 members – for the passage of the amendments.
