Islamabad (Web Desk/Agencies): Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Thursday urged all political parties to work towards the supremacy of Parliament and the strengthening of democracy.
Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, he said, “We must make Parliament supreme, and as the highest authority, it should be trusted.”
He suggested that a joint meeting between the Judicial Council and a parliamentary committee be held to discuss reforms in the judiciary.
The JUI-F chief said that his party is committed to this cause and will bring more suggestions in this regard.
He appreciated the Speaker for issuing production orders for the detained members and raised concerns about the law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Balochistan provinces, noting that no action has been taken so far.
