Standing committee meetings will continue as usual in the absence of PTI members. The Speaker has issued instructions to the Assembly Secretariat in this regard. According to sources, in the absence of an opposition chairman, the convener will chair the meetings.
Government members have been directed to ensure quorum for the committee meetings. The Speaker said the work of standing committees will not be disrupted by the opposition’s resignations. It is necessary for the committees to remain active for legislative work and parliamentary oversight.
