ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The scuffle started between Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) during the session of National Assembly (NA) after Mr 10 per cent remarkd by Minister for Energy Omar Ayub Khan. Speaking to the floor of NA, Omar Ayub criticized the opposition parties for presenting their stance without proper arguments. “We were waiting for some practical suggestions from the opposition members but found nothing sensible in their speeches,” he added. Omer Ayub used the word ‘Mr 10 per cent’ for former president Asif Ali Zardari which triggered the uproar in the House. The PPP lawmakers surrounded the chair of the power minister. A ruckus has erupted in NA after PPP staged protest against Omar Ayub Khan over his ‘Mr 10 per cent’ comment. The enraged PPP leader Agha Rafiullah and the government members of the assembly also involved in a scuffle. During the ruckus in NA, the federal minister came forward to help Omer Ayub. However, the PPP members raised slogans as ‘Ayub dictator Murda Bad’ and torn the copies of today’s NA agenda. When the NA session turned into fish market, the NA speaker adjourned the session till tomorrow.
