ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Members of the Opposition staged a walk-out on Tuesday over the non-payment of funds to female members of the Parliament. Speaking on the occasion, Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly said that it is a shame that female members are being treated in such a manner. “I will return all my funds if the female members are not handed over their funds,” he threatened.
