Punjab Assembly passed the University of Layyah Bill 2022 amid strong a protest and a walkout of the opposition from the session of the provincial assembly on Monday.
According to details, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Punjab, Raja Basharat, presented the bill after the Speaker suspended the rules, allowing the treasury benches to table the bill.
The opposition claimed that the bill introduced was not included in the agenda, terming the proceedings of the provincial assembly as illegal and unconstitutional.
