 N - walks out, says Bill being bulldozed



ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (N) legislators Wednesday contended that the Industrial Relations Bill 2008 was passed in unneeded hurry and urged the government to uphold parliamentary traditions and strengthen the institutions.
Chaudhry Birjees Tahir, Rana Tanveer and Ayaz Amir opposed the passage of Bill. PML-N MNAs staged a token walkout when Acting Speaker Faisal Kundi put the Bill for voice vote.
Ayaz Amir said that the PML-N was not against pro-labour legislation but there no was no need of such unholy haste to pass the Bill. He said that government should abolish all black laws and restore original 1973 Constitution sooner than later.-APP
