The government successfully blocked a resolution against the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) 2025 amendments in the Senate on Friday by pointing out the quorum at the last moment.

Senator Aon Abbas Buppi had tabled the resolution opposing Peca amendments, urging the government to review the law and remove provisions that contradict fundamental human rights. However, just before the resolution could be debated, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar drew the attention of the chair to the lack of quorum in the House.

Responding to the minister’s request, Acting Chairperson Senator Sherry Rehman ordered a headcount and later adjourned the session upon confirming that the quorum was incomplete.
