ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is expected to attend the National Assembly session on Wednesday to take the parliamentarians into confidence regarding the security measures, media reported on Tuesday.
Moreover, all members of the national assembly have been directed to reach the lower house of parliament at 10am on Wednesday.
On Monday, the federal minister for interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would take the National Assembly into confidence regarding the government’s future course of action against the Taliban.
In his address on the floor of the National Assembly, the interior minister said that the prime minister was holding consultations and he would also consult the Parliament and the political parties on how to proceed further. The interior minister said that national consensus was prerequisite for the success of dialogue with or military operation against militants.
The prime minister would attend the session after a six-month gap as he was last seen in the house in late July during the presidential election. The premier has so far attended only seven sittings of the National Assembly out of over 50 held over the span of seven full sessions since taking oath first as National Assembly member and then leader of the house.
Sharif attended the National Assembly sitting of June 1 (oath taking), June 3 (election of speaker and deputy speaker), June 5 (election of prime minister), June 10 (first joint sitting addressed by then president Asif Ali Zardari), June 12 and 24 (budget session) and finally on July 29 (presidential elections).
