ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The treasury and opposition members scuffled with each during the speech of State Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan. During the speech, Ali Muhammad Khan said that turmoil was created in the country due an MNA. “Such person has no place in the National Assembly who does not accept the national flag,” he said. Ali Muhammad Khan demanded that the membership of Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir should be terminated. “We will not allow anyone to use the Pakhtun Card. Our ministers, deputy speaker and Prime Minister Imran Khan are Pakhtuns,” he said. Shehryar Afridi asked the leaders to express loyalty with Pakistan instead of their politics. At this, the PPP members protested against the remarks of Ali Muhammad Khan and besieged the dais. NA Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri continued to ask the protesting members to take their seats. Meanwhile, the treasury members also protested against unavailability of water in Karachi. They were carrying posters against the Sindh government. Later, NA Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri adjourned the session for an indefinite period. Earlier, Suri told the House that Bannu City police had arrested Ali Wazir under sections 302, 307 of the PPC and section 7 of the ATA and 16 MPO. He said that the DIG Operations had informed about the arrest of Ali Wazir.
