The Senate has indefinitely adjourned its session amid a delay in the consensus over the constitutional amendment bill.
The session, chaired by Deputy Chairman Syedal Khan, was adjourned after a majority approved a resolution to declare September 7 an official public holiday.
The resolution, moved by Senator Attaur Rehman, called for the government to commemorate September 7 each year in remembrance of parliament's decision in 1974 on that day, which officially declared the Ahmadiyya community as non-Muslims through the second constitutional amendment.
Senator Atta-ul-Rehman emphasized that making September 7 a government holiday would ensure that the nation remains aware of the "landmark decision" made by parliament. The resolution passed with a majority vote and faced no opposition during the session.
Deputy Chairman Syedal Khan ruled that the resolution could not be discussed further after approval, stating, "Once a resolution is passed, it cannot be debated." Senator Farooq H. Naik echoed this sentiment, affirming that since there was no opposition, further discussion on the matter was unnecessary.
Following the approval of the resolution, the session of the Senate was adjourned indefinitely, adding to the delay of discussions regarding the constitutional amendment bill.
