KARACHI: The Sindh Assembly again on Friday witnessed uproar and chaos when lawmakers belonging to the Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf traded insults and hurled abuses on each other.
The situation took an ugly turn at the outset of the proceedings following the remarks of PTI’s Khurram Sher Zaman, who said “it seems that there is dogs’ rule in the province” while praying for dog-bite victims.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla, Information, Science and Technology Minister Taimur Talpur and other PPP lawmakers lost their cool and aggressively moved toward the PTI benches, shouting at MPA Sher Zaman and advising him to control his tongue and not to act like a “goon”.

A group of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers met SP Rao Aslam at the Memon Goth Police Station on Thursday to register a case about firing at Sindh Assembly opposition leader Haleem Adil Sheikh and an assault on their party workers during Tuesdayâs by-election in provincial assembly constituency PS-88 in District Malir.
PTI Karachi chief and MPA Khurrum Sher Zaman led the delegation that comprised MPAs Saeed Afridi, Shehzad Qureshi and Malik Shehzad Awan, the PTI candidate for the PS-88 by-poll, and a team of lawyers.
Later, talking to the media, Zaman claimed that SP Rao Aslam refused to register a case of assault on Sheikh. âThe police refusal to register a case is utter injustice,â he said. âOn the polling day, the media had exposed everything that happened during the PS-88 by-poll, but despite that police have not registered a case.â
