Islamabad: Federal Minister for Law, Azam Nazir Tarrar, emphasized that no legislation is considered complete without the signature of the President of Pakistan. Speaking in the National Assembly, he reaffirmed that the approval of the President is a constitutional requirement for the passage of any law.
Minister Tarrar highlighted the longstanding respect between himself, his party, and Maulana Fazlur Rehman, noting that the framers of Pakistan’s Constitution had achieved consensus in 1973. “Our elders passed the 1973 Constitution through collective wisdom,” he said.
Discussing the ongoing legislative process, Tarrar pointed out that the 26th Amendment was passed by both houses of Parliament, and Article 50 of the Constitution defines the Parliament, of which the President is an integral part. “No legislation can be completed without the President’s signature,” he stated.
Tarrar further explained that according to Article 75 of the Constitution, the President has ten days to either approve the bill or send it back to the Parliament. If the President returns a bill, it is then placed before a joint session of Parliament, where it may be passed with or without amendments.
The law minister reassured that the federal government is fully aware of its responsibilities, particularly regarding maintaining law and order. “The federal government is committed to providing full support to the provinces for peace and security,” he said.
On the issue of law and order in Kurram, he confirmed that the federal government is working closely with the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and has assured them of full cooperation. “The Governor held a Jirga as the federal representative. I would have been happier if the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had also taken similar action,” Tarrar added.
The minister concluded by assuring the assembly that the federal government is actively monitoring the situation and that the Interior Minister has been instructed to keep a close watch on developments.Islamabad: Federal Minister for Law, Azam Nazir Tarrar, emphasized that no legislation is considered complete without the signature of the President of Pakistan.
