ISLAMABAD:
Days after lawmakers scuffled in the lower house of the parliament, the National Assemblyspeaker has issued notices to Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) Syed Naveed Qamar, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) Chaudhry Hamid Hameed and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Attaullah and sought explanation from them for violating the decorum of the house.
Speaker Asad Qaiser issued notices to the three National Assembly members (MNAs) under Rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the National Assembly 2007 after examining the evidence and pursuing record of the proceedings of February 4 — the day when lawmakers used most of their time in the assembly to spew a nonstop torrent of the most unparliamentary language possible.
