PTI return to parliament: The Election Commission of Pakistan has delayed the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly elections, and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which was the former ruling party, has decided to attend the joint session of Parliament instead of continuing its boycott.
Parliament’s two chambers convened for a joint session to discuss the ongoing political and economic crisis, and PTI lawmakers were there.
PTI members created a scene during the session to obstruct business and traded blows with Treasury benches for wreaking havoc in the country that was already in a state of crisis. Notwithstanding the speaker’s warnings, legislators from the government and PTI ruined the meeting by using anti-one another slogans.
Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf threatened the opposition’s legislators with exclusion from speaking time if they continued to interrupt Asad Mehmood’s remarks. Additionally, it came to light that some leaders of the Imran Khan-led party carried placards into the chamber and staged a protest in front of the speaker’s dais.
PTI Senators Waleed Iqbal, Saifullah Abro, and Fawzia Arshad were among the members who were seen.
The minister of communications criticised judges for their alleged bias against one political party in his speech.
Following Imran Khan’s removal from office in a no-confidence vote in April of last year, Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf lawmakers attended the first session of Parliament. Before to that, PTI mass-resigned from the lower house of the legislature in opposition to the former premier’s ouster.
