Suspension of Rules
On separate motions moved by Mr Umer Farooq and Mr Ahmad Khan under Rule 234 of the Rules of Procedure of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab 1997, the House granted leave to suspend Rule 115 and other relevant rules of the Rules ibid, for taking up the following Resolutions, which were passed by the House:
Resolutions
Mr Umer Farooq moved a Resolution condemning the cancellation of Bol News Network Licence. The House was convinced that behind the closure of Bol News Network economic set back of thousands of journalists was under consideration, which would not be allowed to succeed under any circumstances. By doing so the Federal Government had attacked the freedom of press which was extremely condemnable. The House demanded the Federal Government and PEMRA to immediately withdraw the order of closure of Bol News Network.
Mr Ahmad Khan moved a Resolution condemning the extreme physical and mental violence inflicted on Mr Haleem Adil Sheikh, Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly, by the imported Government. The imported Government brought him under extreme state of oppression and had been violating his rights as an opposition leader. But the night of darkness and oppression would soon come to an end under the leadership of Mr Imran Khan and the nation was near to get freedom from this outdated system. The House expressed full solidarity with Mr Haleem Adil Shaikh in these difficult times imposed upon him and demanded the Federal and Sindh Government to immediately withdraw false and baseless cases registered against him and to release him urgently.
The House was then adjourned at 05:40 p.m. to meet on Monday, September 12, 2022 at 03:00 p.m.
Resolutions Passed
قرارداد نمبر: 125
محرک کا نام: جناب عمر فاروق (PP-106)
میں یہ قرارداد پیش کرتا ہوں کہ پنجاب اسمبلی کا یہ ایوان پیمرا کی جانب سے بول نیٹ ورک کے لائسنس منسوخ کرنے کی شدید الفاظ میں مذمت کرتا ہے۔ یہ ایوان سمجھتا ہے کہ بول نیوز کی بندش کے پیچھے ہزاروں صحافیوں کا معاشی قتل عام کرنے کا منصوبہ ہے جسے کسی صورت کامیاب نہیں ہونے دیا جائے گا، وفاقی حکومت نے بول نیوز کو بند کر کے آزادی صحافت پر گھناؤنا وار کیا ہے جس کی جتنی مذمت کی جائے کم ہے۔ یہ ایوان وفاقی حکومت اور پیمرا سے بول نیوز کی بندش کا حکم نامہ فوری واپس لینے کا مطالبہ کرتا ہے۔
قرارداد نمبر: 126
محرک کا نام: جناب احمد خان (PP-87)
میں یہ قرارداد پیش کرتا ہوں کہ پنجاب اسمبلی کا یہ ایوان حلیم عادل شیخ، اپوزیشن لیڈر سندھ اسمبلی پر امپورٹڈ حکومت کی ایماء پر ہونے والے ظلم و ستم و بہیمانہ جسمانی و ذہنی تشدد کی پُرزور مذمت کرتا ہے۔ امپورٹڈ حکومت حلیم عادل شیخ پر ریاستی جبر کے پہاڑ توڑ رہی ہے۔اُن کے بطور اپوزیشن لیڈر حقوق کو بھی پامال کیا جا رہا ہے مگر ظلم و ستم کی یہ تاریک رات بس ختم ہونے کو ہے اور جناب عمران خان کی قیادت میں قوم فرسودہ نظام سے آزادی کے قریب تر ہے۔ یہ ایوان حلیم عادل شیخ سے ان مشکل حالات میں مکمل اظہار یکجہتی کرتا ہے اور وفاقی و سندھ حکومت سے اس امر کا مطالبہ کرتا ہے کہ ان پر قائم کردہ جھوٹے اور بے بنیاد مقدمات کو فی الفور واپس لیا جائے اور انہیں فوری طور پر رہا کیا جائے۔
