Lawmakers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) on Friday staged a walkout from National Assembly to protest the comments made by Mian Javed Latif, an MNA of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N). The walkout was staged in response to Latif's remarks against the chairman PTI and the subsequent scuffle between the ruling party's lawmaker and PTI MNA Murad Saeed.
Immediately after the walkout from the House, Shagufta Jumani of PPPP pointed out the quorum. The quorum was not complete and Deputy Speaker National Assembly Murtaza Javed Abbasi suspended the proceedings of House till completion of quorum. The House was resumed after half an hour following the completion of the quorum. Earlier, Dr Arif Alvi of PTI during point of personal explanation questioned how the ruling party lawmakers would react if such a statement was passed against their leadership.
He went on to say that deputy speaker who was chairing the assembly session, restrained the PTI lawmakers from speaking. Alvi demanded to suspend Latif's membership of the National Assembly. Another PTI MNA Ali Muhammad Khan said whatever happened outside the National Assembly on Thursday was a sequel of what happened inside the House. Addressing Latif, he said, "No PTI parliamentarian can even think of calling Nawaz a traitor."
