PM’s absence from National Assembly

Minister says PM busy with coronavirus response as opposition decries his absence from parliament. The opposition has raised the issue of prime minister’s long absence from parliament, pointing to the fact that Khan himself had promised in his first speech at the National Assembly to regularly attend its sittings and respond to the questions of its members on the pattern of the UK’s House of Commons.
However, the attendance record shows that the prime minister only attended 12 sittings after assuming the country’s top political office in August 2018.
