The Sindh Assembly amended its rules on Monday to become the first assembly in the country to summon a virtual session amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The budget will be presented in an online session on Wednesday.
The amendment to Rule 267 of the Rules of Procedures, 2013, was moved by Sindh Parliamentary Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla.
“In case of an emergency that makes it impracticable or unsafe for members to assemble at a single location, the speaker may give orders for holding the session by using electronic communication, including video conference or audio visual arrangements,” states the amendment.
