ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly on Thursday unanimously extended the Pakistan Industrial Relations Ordinance 2011 (PIRO) for further 120 days.
Minister for Religious Affairs Syed Khurshid moved a resolution to further extend the Ordinance for 120 days. The House unanimously adopted the resolution.
Zahid Hamid of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, while speaking on the occasion, said since the labour related issues had already been devolved to the provinces therefore the Federal Government had no the authority to extend the ordinance.
It may be mentioned here that as per 18th Amendment, all the labour related issues have been transferred to the provinces. The ordinance will help overcome legal lacuna.
