PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi engaged in a fiery debate in the Lower House on Wednesday, raising the temperature of the National Assembly.
As the session resumed, Speaker Asad Qaiser gave floor to Bilawal to deliver his speech. He first accused the speaker of not protecting the rights of the opposition members, saying that “the whole nation saw that if you had not rigged the parliamentary process, you wouldn’t have received 172 votes.”
Taking a dig at Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin, Bilawal said that an ‘unelected member’ kept rejecting the opposition’s amendments. Citing the rules of business to run the House, the PPP chairperson pointed that as per Rule 276, if there is a voice vote challenge, the speaker has to count it. He said he challenged the vote during the last phase of the legislation but the speaker did not listen to him. “What else is it, if not rigging?” the PPP leader asked, before concluding his speech.
