ISLAMABAD: Parliamentary leader of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPPP) in the Senate Senator Sherry Rehman calls for temporary virtual parliament while demanding the convening of parliament in extraordinary times like the current coronavirus emergency. “Parliament’s urgent role of scrutinising government, authorising spending, making laws and providing leadership during these testing times cannot be pushed aside. The need of the hour is that the Parliament should adapt itself to extraordinary circumstances and ramp up e-tech capacity to temporarily shift towards a virtual parliament,” she said while demanding convening of the session of Parliament.
