Karachi, A delegation of Sri Lankan Members of Parliament, led by Mr. Namal Rajapaksa, met with Sindh Governor Kamran Khan Tesori at the Governor’s House, in the presence of Senator Salim Mandviwala.

According to Sindh Governor House, the meeting covered discussions on enhancing Pakistan-Sri Lanka relations, increasing cooperation in various fields, and exploring investment opportunities in the province. This engagement highlights the commitment of both nations to strengthen their bilateral ties and collaborate in diverse sectors for mutual benefit.

Islamabad, The Senate Committee on Rules of Procedure and Privileges, chaired by Senator Muhammad Tahir Bizinjo, convened today at Parliament House to discuss several key issues, including a privilege motion against the Secretary of the Ministry of Interior.

According to Senate of Pakistan, Senator Bahramand Khan Tangi raised a privilege motion against the Secretary for refusing to issue an arms license to him, contrary to the government’s policy of providing licenses to parliamentarians. Tangi argued that this refusal represented a breach of privilege for himself and other parliamentarians. In response, the Ministry explained that Tangi had been approved for an arms license but did not complete the necessary procedures within the given timeframe. Despite the recent ban on PB licenses, the committee urged for a quick resolution and suggested exempting parliamentarians from this ban.

The meeting also touched on other matters, including a privilege motion against the Director-General of the Civil Aviation Authority and recruitment irregularities in PSQCA. These issues were deferred due to the absence of the movers. The session was attended by several senators and representatives of attached departments.
