Islamabad, Apr 17 (PTI) The lower house of Pakistan's Parliament on Monday rejected a supplementary demand for Rs 21 billion grant for elections in Punjab despite the Supreme Court's order, deepening the uncertainty over the polls in the politically crucial province and adding to tensions between the government and the judiciary.
Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar moved the supplementary demand motion in the National Assembly, the lower house, to meet the expenditures for elections after the Cabinet referred the matter to Parliament.
However, the house turned down the request.
