The prime minister has advised the President to summon a joint session of the parliament on December 17 at 11:00 am, according to sources.
The agenda of the joint sitting comprises of likely passage of eight legislative bills including the seminary registration bill, sources said.
Sources said that the consultation has been ongoing between the government and JUI-F over the new bill for the registration of Madaris.
President Asif Ali Zardari’s rejection of the bill infuriated JUI-F chief Maulana Fazl ur Rehman, who threatened street protests if the bill is not signed.
The president had returned the bill to the lower house with objections. In case of any objection, only the joint sitting of the parliament can pass the bill again.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif after the return of the Madaris bill had called the JUI-F chief Maulana Fazl to assure him that his government would expedite the seminary bill approval.
