• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, thank you for giving me the chance to contribute. I would like to oppose that amendment in the strongest possible language. First of all, we must treat all institutions in the same way. If we have no precedent of subjecting an entire service other than provided for by the Constitution which we did. The reason we have vetted the Judiciary is because the drafters of the Constitution, in their wisdom, singled out that institution specifically. That is point number one. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we need a rational explanation as to why we need immigration and registration. Culture makes a lot of sense. We must make law that is consistent. This assumption of office is for all time; after the next election and the other one into the future.

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, a majority shareholding is a very high threshold. So, I propose a further amendment that we stay with the language of controlling interests. The Aga Khan controls The Nation Media Group with a 30 per cent interest or 24 per cent interest. The word “controlling” is important. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wanted to inform the House, with your permission, if I may, that the council that we are talking about is the National Security Council. I have two points; the functions of the council are already defined in the statute. The definition that we have made of the functions that we have set out for the council, and the assignment that we are now giving to it are not included; for that reason, unless we also intend to amend Section 4--- I think I have made my point. view
