The supremacy and relevancy of Parliament is often compromised by the parliamentarians, more notably by the treasure benches. According to a report published in a daily, the government promulgated more ordinances than the laws undertaken and completed by the parliament in the second year of the incumbent assemblies. In legislative matters, government after government relied on ordinances, which provide an easy and quick path to legislators to promulgate a law with a notification. The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf-led coalition government lacks a clear cut majority in both legislative houses and that is the prime reason that the government issued 31 ordinances as compared to seven during the last parliamentary year. The list included the one seeking amendment to the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999, and the allowing Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav to have consular access in the light of the judgement of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The Kulbhushan Jadhav-related ICJ (Review and Reconsideration) Ordinance 2020, promulgated on May 20, came to light recently as the government did not inform the legislators, which triggered opposition criticism that the move aimed at appeasing India. The ordinance will cease to exist from September 20. The fact is that the ordinance aimed at meeting the ICJ verdict as well as frustrate Delhi’s likely plan to move the United Nations Security Council against Pakistan. It is worth mentioning the opposition did not press the charges. Despite the flurry of ordinances, the National Assembly passed 29 bills and one from the joint sitting of parliament during the second parliamentary year. The bills related to the Financial Action Task Force were smooth sailing as both opposition and treasury benches are determined to bring Pakistan out of the grey list. In all, of the 30 bills, which the parliament Okayed, nearly a dozen bills were related to the requirements of FATF. Three bills related to extension in the tenures of the three chiefs of the armed forces of Pakistan also had smooth sailing, thanks to the agreement between the opposition and the government. The Senate blocked about a dozen bills, which were passed by the National Assembly, stopping them from becoming the act of parliament as the opposition is in a majority in the Senate. *
