Adamant on their demand, the PDP members started shouting slogans.

In the meantime communist leader Yousuf Tarigami and his ally Hakim Yasin exchanged arguments with PDP members. The law minister, Mir Saifullah raised some points about the motion calling it as “ambiguous” which provoked the protesting PDP members.

As the uproar was on, the deputy speaker, Sartaj Madni launched a scathing attack on Speaker’s conduct of assembly proceedings. He said, “You are giving charge of the house to the members, which is against the honour and dignity of the chair.”
