Session: 9 Legislation

Legislation is the most important function of an assembly because these legislation leaves an enormous impact on the lives of the nation. Assembly is that platform where debates and discussions are carried out to make the functioning of society and government better. Problems and issues are brought into light by the people who are selected as the representative of a common man in the assembly. The power of legislation makes it possible for the assembly to solve them

There is a general perception about the assembly of Pakistan that they do not think about the public. They always pass and bring those bills in light which will only give benefit them or which will benefit the progression of the party. But it’s not always true we should not always condemn them because they have also done work only for the sake of people’s interest or to secure their rights. It’s true that there are flaws in our assembly in fact in the people who are elected but at the same time, brighter picture should not be neglected and it should be encouraged so that others should also take the initiative of helping the public who elected them. For instance, in the recent years, the assembly and then the senate passed the women specific bill: fourteen year jail term for acid throwers. Though it took a lot of time to get it passed but they tried and made it happen. This bill is going to save a lot of lives because of the harsh punishment the guilty might get.
