Meanwhile, a gazette notification by the President claimed PArliament would be summoned on November 14. Just two days ahead of the initially scheduled November 16.
Every day that the convening of Parliament is delayed is a nail in the coffin of democracy in our country. The sovereignty of the people is eroded each day. Convene Parliament immediately.
