Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar has stated that no legislation is complete without the President’s signature.
Speaking in the National Assembly, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar emphasized that he holds a relationship of respect with Maulana Fazlur Rehman and his leader, adding that Pakistan’s founding figures passed the 1973 Constitution with collective wisdom.
He stated that the 26th amendment and the bill were passed by both houses of parliament. Article 50 of the Constitution defines the parliament, and the President is a part of this assembly. No legislation is completed without the President’s signature.
The law minister added that Article 75 stipulates that the President either approves the bill within ten days or sends it back to the Majlis-e-Shura.
He assured that the federal government is fully aware of its responsibilities and is committed to providing complete support to the provinces for maintaining law and order. It should be noted that despite being passed by both houses of parliament, the bill remains in limbo after the president returned it with eight objections.
The Ittehad-e-Tanzeemat-e-Madaris on Monday demanded the immediate issuance of a gazette notification for the Madrassa Registration Bill. A meeting of the Ittehad-e-Tanzeemat-e-Madaris was held in Islamabad. After the meeting, Rehman, accompanied by Mufti Taqi Usmani and Mufti Munib-ur-Rehman, addressed joint press conference. He said the madrassa bill was not controversial, as it had already been approved by Parliament.
