Barrister Aqeel Malik Addresses Internet Issues in National Assembly Session

ISLAMABAD: Barrister Aqeel Malik highlighted significant internet and technical issues that disrupted the proceedings of the National Assembly yesterday. The session, which was expected to address critical legislative matters, faced interruptions due to connectivity problems, raising concerns among lawmakers.

During the session, Malik emphasized the need for reliable technological infrastructure to ensure smooth parliamentary operations. He stated, “The effectiveness of our legislative process is compromised when we face such technical hurdles. It is imperative that we address these issues promptly to uphold the integrity of our democratic processes.”

The disruptions not only hindered the assembly’s ability to conduct business but also reflected broader challenges in Pakistan’s digital infrastructure. As the country moves towards greater digitalization, such incidents underscore the urgent need for improvements in internet services, which are vital for governance and public engagement.

Looking ahead, the National Assembly is expected to convene again next week, where officials may discuss potential solutions to these technical challenges. Lawmakers are likely to propose measures to enhance the technological capabilities of the assembly, ensuring that future sessions are not similarly affected.
