    Parliament being the legislative body should have the right to pass laws.They have the power to amend the constitution.
    However i don't think a simple majority in the parliament should be able to indemnify NRO,2/3rd majority should be required.

    Zia m,

    "Parliament being the legislative body should have the right to pass laws" So it means if 2/3rd of the people agree on a crime that could become the law, right???

    parliament is the only authority which can make this ordinance an act. so if the parliament passses this law no body can stop that. by the way this parliament is selected by people of pakistan and it represents our mentalitlity. people select always these corrupt people because our people are also corrupt. when our people do wrong things then they need these people to help them. by the way see in ur own area , is not the 90 percent of people are involved in frauds,corruption,, we have problems at micro level.... i dont think so our nation can change their mind set... it will take very time ... and only solution is education... with a non educated nation we can only produce things like nro

    The SC still have the right to challenge any act or law that is against the constitution.

    majority can pass any legislation they want to but my question was if someone have interest in certain legislation, then such members should disclose their interest and do not participate in voting. This is common practice in corporate world where directors are required to disclose their interest officially and are barred from taking part in the vote. There must be something in parliamentary bye laws
