The National Assembly on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution calling for the promotion of peace, tolerance, and brotherhood in accordance with the teachings of Hazrat Muhammad Rasool Allah Khatam-un-Nabiyyin Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. The resolution, moved by Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Tariq Fazal Chaudhary, expressed the House's resolve to promote the Sunnah and teachings of the Prophet (SAWW). The House stressed that federal and provincial governments should celebrate the blessed occasion of Eid Milad-un-Nabi (SAWW) at the highest level. It called for the illumination and decoration of official, semi-official, and private buildings, as well as highways, to mark the occasion.

The resolution also urged all government institutions, including educational and business institutions and media houses, to participate in the celebrations in a befitting manner. Furthermore, it appealed to the nation to observe the occasion with utmost solemnity, respect, and unity. Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) lawmaker Agha Rafiullah, while speaking briefly on a point of order, asked the government to issue a policy statement on the creation of new provinces. He also exchanged harsh remarks with Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) parliamentarians while raising the issue. He noted that the interior minister had stated that the system had collapsed, and the issue of new administrative units was also raised.

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) parliamentarians also demanded that the process of exporting and then importing sugar should stop. "Into whose pockets did Rs300 billion go when the commodity was exported and then imported last time?" he questioned. Another Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) parliamentarian, Dr. Sharmila Faruqui, regretted the federal government's indifferent attitude toward the M-6 motorway (Sukkur to Karachi) project. She pointed out that the government had approved Rs49 billion for an 18.9-kilometer portion of the Lahore to Bahawalnagar project. However, she said the government had approved only Rs30 billion for the M-6 project, while the remaining funds have yet to be cleared.

Meanwhile, the National Assembly was informed on Tuesday that there are 22,000 seats in medical colleges across the country, of which 65 percent are in the private sector and 35 percent are reserved in government institutions. Responding to a calling attention notice, Minister of State for National Health Services Dr. Malik Mukhtar Ahmad Bharath said complaints regarding private medical colleges are taken up and addressed promptly. He informed the House that 45 private medical colleges had been issued show-cause notices based on complaints. He further stated that private medical colleges cannot charge fees exceeding Rs2.1 million and that no private medical college can increase its fee unilaterally. He also said that only candidates who passed the MDCAT test are eligible to apply for admission to recognized medical colleges in Central Asian states.
