MNAs Dr Nafisa Shah, Ms Shazia Atta Marri, Syed Naveed Qamar, Dr Azra Fazal Pechuho, Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah & Mrs Beelam Hasnain submitted the Adjournment Motion in the National Assembly:

The motion stated, “Under Rule 110 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the National Assembly, 2007, we request that the proceedings of the house be adjourned to discuss the Government’s decision to impose Article 245 in the capital territory of Islamabad as it reflects the failure of the civil administration, involves the total suspension of the jurisdiction of the high courts and setting up of military courts.

This is a serious issue with grave consequences and requires immediate discussion on the floor of the house”, it said.
