\u2022 PPP senators demand moot to discuss proposed canals
\n\u2022 Opposition, journalists walk out over Peca<\/p>\n
ISLAMABAD: Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar has refused to commit to a date for convening the Council of Common Interests (CCI), to discuss the water-sharing dispute among provinces.<\/p>\n
The issue of proposed canals on the Indus River cropped up once again in the Senate on Monday, when PPP members raised the issue and sought a meeting of the CCI, which has all four provincial chief ministers as its members.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the opposition PTI walked out of the house after staging a noisy protest over the amendments in the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016.<\/p>\n
Journalists also walked out of the media gallery in protest against the proposed legislation, most likely to be passed by the Upper House today (Tuesday), following approval from a Senate standing committee a day before.<\/p>\n
Law Minister Tarar chided the opposition for disrupting the proceedings and said the protest was meaningless as the bill was not being passed today.<\/p>\n
He said the Senate Standing Committee on Interior, which approved the bill, was headed by a PTI lawmaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
