The Opposition members including Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Thursday staged walkout from both the Houses of the Parliament in protest against the government as their agenda was not included in the order of the day.
On the assurance of representatives from treasury benches of both the houses, the opposition members returned to the Upper and Lower Houses of Parliament to participate in the proceedings.
Federal Minister for Religious Affairs, Syed Khursheed Shah and Leader of the House in the Senate Syed Nayyar Hussain Bukhari said that the government benches have no objection if the opposition wanted to discuss the issues in the Parliament including situation in Karachi, AJK elections and loadshedding.
MQM Senator Colonel Syed Tahir Hussain Mashadi (Retd) said that his party has submitted an application for allocating seats on opposition benches in the Senate but after spending 21 days, they have not been allocated the seats.
