| That worked well, didn't it? |
The National Assembly on Monday passed the anti-terrorism bill and the contempt of court bill after the opposition walked out of the house in protest against the president's uniform. Opposition members chanted slogans before their walkout. Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, who was in his chamber during the opposition's protest, came to the house after the walkout. A small number of treasury members, who were left in the house after the opposition's walkout, adopted the two bills, one to regulate the exercise of powers of courts to punish for contempt of court and the other amends the Anti-Terrorism Act 2004 by voice vote.
