Emergency was extended by another month by Parliament a short while ago without a vote being called for as most opposition members were absent. Usually a vote is taken in Parliament to seek an extension of the emergency.

However opposition members were absent to call for a vote with most of them taking part in protests outside parliament against the 18th ammendment.
