ISLAMABAD, June 27: National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser shut off the of Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif after he violated the parliament’s code of conduct and referred to PM Imran Khan as “selected” on Thursday.
He was stopped from making his speech. This led to a ruckus as the opposition and government members stood up from their seats and started banging their desks.
PM Khan was present in the assembly during the incident. He left soon after.
On June 23, Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri barred MNAs from using the word ‘selected’ while speaking about PM Imran Khan in parliament. The deputy speaker was chairing a session when federal minister Umar Ayub remarked that a restriction should be placed on the usage of the word ‘selected’ for Imran Khan. The speaker agreed with him.
“All members of the assembly become a part of it after securing votes,” Suri said. ” No one should use this word in the assembly. It is an insult to the parliament.”-Agencies
