Some 34 members from the opposition have submitted a requisition to Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani to convene a session of the upper house of Parliament.

According to the members, the agenda for the session includes discussions on the federal government's policy to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, coordinating a clear healthcare response and a clear policy to deal with the economic impact of the virus.

The agenda also includes discussion on the "impact of the virus on national security and foreign policy amid regional tensions, regression of the people of occupied Kashmir and apartheid-like conditions faced by Indian Muslims under the Modi regime".

Opposition members had submitted a requisition last month to convene a National Assembly session which will be held on Monday.
