The special committee includes the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F).
Speaking in the meeting, Maulana Fazlur Rahman refused to support the government on the issue of extension in tenure of high ranking officials.
According to sources, the Maulana suggested “detailed” debate on the bill.
The PTI also backed the JUI-F chief and said that the legislation should not be enacted in haste.
The government adjourned the session of National Assembly till tomorrow (Monday) moments after the sitting held on Sunday (today) late night.
