https://www.dawn.com/news/2027617
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has blocked parliamentary proceedings on two gas revenue bills amid internal disputes within the ruling coalition. The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Petroleum, chaired by PPP’s Syed Mustafa Mehmood, refused to discuss the Natural Gas (Development Surcharge) Amendment Bill and the Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC) Amendment Bill.
PPP lawmaker Syed Naveed Qamar expressed the party's reservations regarding the bills, citing issues such as the Azad Kashmir elections and judicial appointments. The committee ultimately decided to defer the bills pending further resolution of these disputes.
