KARACHI:
Pandemonium and melee defined the Sindh Assembly session on Tuesday when lawmakers from the Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf came to blows. The lawmakers resorted to scuffling and shoving each other, with the point of contention being a dissident PTI MPA, Karim Bux Gabol.
Gabol, who was elected from the PS-100 constituency in East district in the 2018 general election, had announced on Monday that he would not be voting for his party’s candidates in the Senate elections, which are scheduled today (Wednesday).
