ISLAMABAD:
Lamenting the modus operandi for ensuring lower house decorum, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) lawmaker Agha Rafiullah on Friday rejected a fellow woman parliamentarian’s accusations of using insulting words for her during a session of the assembly on February 2.
Ruling party MNA Begum Shaheen Saifullah Toru had filed a written complaint to NA Speaker Asad Qaiser against the PPP MP for making alleged derogatory remarks during house proceedings.
The letter reads, during the Feb 2 NA session Rafiullah showed “behaviour, completely unbecoming” of an MNA.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) Chaudhry Hamid Hameed has dared the National Assembly speaker to provide certain record of the proceedings so that he could answer a letter issued to him over alleged violation of the decorum of the lower house of parliament.
