1. Bill to punish `contempt of parliament` clears upper house too

A bill proposing a six-month punishment for contempt of parliament or any of its committees, sailed through the Senate on July 24, 2023, as heated debate between PPP lawmakers and a Jamaat-i-Islami senator over the recently-held Karachi mayoral elections nearly led to a physical altercation.
The `Contempt of Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament) Bill`, passed by the National Assembly in May, was introduced through a supplementary agenda and was not referred to the standing committee either, before being passed by the lawmakers through a voice vote.
Now, the proposed law will be sent to the president for his assent to make it an act of parliament
