Senate seeks restoration of IIOJK previous status

ISLAMABAD, 24 June 2021, (TON): The Senate passed a resolution seeking the restoration of the special status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and end to the ongoing atrocities in the disputed territory.

The House also approved the Pakistan Arms (Amendment) Bill, 2021, which delegates powers of the cabinet to the interior ministry as well as interior secretary to issue prohibited bore arms licences.

In the ongoing debate on the budget in the House, the treasury members termed the budget as “people- and business-friendly”.

However, the opposition members sharply criticised the budget and said that it would not address the economic woes of the people.

The resolution on IIOJK was moved by Senator Dr Zarqa Taimur of the ruling PTI.

The Senate chairman directed that copies of the resolution be sent to all embassies.
