LAHORE:
The opposition benches in the Punjab Assembly grilled the government over defeat in the senate elections while several lawmakers repeatedly pointed out a lack of quorum.
The house proceedings started at 11:29 with the lapse of two and half hours under the chair of the Panel of Chairman Mian Muhammad Shafi. The panel of chairmen, however, did not stop the house proceedings. The opposition lawmakers wanted to grill the government first on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) recent defeat in the senate elections while the government’s tilt was to adopt first the agenda items of the assembly.
