'I’ll hit you with a shoe': Khaqan Abbasi made threat to NA speaker
ISLAMABAD (92 News) - Harsh words were exchanged between National Assembly (NA) Speaker Asad Qaiser and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as the PML-N senior leader made threat to hit with a shoe to the NA speaker.
Both the leaders exchanged these hot words during the special session of the Parliament where the government presented a resolution to debate the expulsion of the French ambassador.
The opposition was angry that the government had not taken parliament into confidence on the current situation. After the resolution was adopted rather hurriedly, Khaqan Abbasi stood up to speak. He came right in front of the NA speaker's dais.
"Unfortunately, this resolution is not enough. “You have tabled a resolution, we should be given time to go through it. We want a unanimous resolution to be passed”. “You have no shame,” he cried. "Mind your language," warned the NA speaker. "You always behave like this."
The PML-N leader used unparliamentary language and made threats to Asad Qaiser, saying, "I’ll hit you with a shoe."
The NA speaker relied, "I’ll do the same to you. Stay within your limits. Go to your seat...!"
