ISLAMABAD, May 31 (INP): Opposition parties in the National Assembly on Friday staged protest in front of speaker’s dais during ongoing National Assembly session and raised slogans in the house in favour of their demand.
While holding placards, the opposition parties chanted slogans and demanded to issue production orders of Member National Assembly Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir who are in Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) custody over an attack on Army’s check post.
The opposition members from the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) created ruckus in the house, to force their demand to issue production orders for Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir.
The members from the treasury benches tried their best to calm down the temperature of the house, but they failed in doing so.
The parties also protested over filing presidential references against the judges. Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari delivered an emotional speech. “Issue production orders for Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir to ensure their presence in the house”, he demanded.
Speaking in the assembly, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan said Pakistan has been hosting millions of Afghan refugees over the last four decades.
He said Afghanistan is our fraternal country but it owes answer to us as to why a son of Pakistani land SP Tahir Dawar was martyred on their land.
Ali Muhammad Khan regretted the language used by certain elements in North Waziristan against Pakistan and its state institution. He said those behind this have no right to sit in this House and their membership should be cancelled.
Afterwards, the deputy speaker Qasim Suri adjourned the session for indefinite time period due to the rumpus in the assembly.
