Sadiq stresses parliamentary reforms

ISLAMABAD:

National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq on Thursday emphasised the need for consistent reforms in the parliamentary process, suggesting that "mistakes from the past must be corrected."

"If the government gets more time, the opposition is unhappy; if the opposition gets more time, the government is upset," Sadiq noted, while addressing the inaugural session of 18th Speakers Conference.

He stated that managing expectations is the toughest part of his position.

Describing the event as a great honour, he highlighted the complexities of a speaker's role in balancing the demands of government, opposition, and backbenchers.
