NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SESSIONS
The life of National Assembly is divided into sessions. It must meet for at least 130 days and there must be at least three sessions in a year. A session of the National Assembly is summoned by the
President of Pakistan under Article 54(1) of the Constitution. In the summoning
order the President gives the date, time and place (which is usually the
Parliament House), for the National Assembly to meet. The date and time for the
summoning of the National Assembly is immediately announced over Radio and
Television. Generally, a copy of the summon is also
sent to the Members at their home address. The National Assembly can also be
summoned by the Speaker of National Assembly on a request made by at least 25
percent of National Assembly Members. If the National Assembly is so
requisitioned, it must be summoned within 14 days |
