The National Assembly Secretariat on Wednesday issued notice to PML-N's Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, asking him to apologise and explain his position over his alleged "continuous misbehaviour", a day after the former prime minister had a verbal clash with the speaker.
Members of the government and the ruling PTI had sharply criticised Abbasi for threatening to hit Speaker Asad Qaiser with his shoe after the two exchanged harsh words during Tuesday's National Assembly session.
"The Honourable Speaker has taken a very serious note of your continuous misbehaviour and disregard of Chair and accepted parliamentary norms and especially on the occasion when a very important business was about to transact before the House on 20th April 2021," the letter sent to Abbasi and released by the NA media directorate stated.
