ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers protested during Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s arrival at the National Assembly session on Tuesday.
According to details, PTI members began chanting slogans as soon as PM Shehbaz entered the ongoing session.
The lawmakers shouted, “Dekho Dekho kon aya, Chor aya chor aya,” while members from the treasury benches gathered around the leader of the house’s chair amidst the commotion.
Earlier, the Tax Laws Amendment Bill 2024 was presented in the National Assembly after being approved by the standing committee.
Reports also indicated that the quorum disruption during the previous National Assembly session was a coordinated effort between the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and PTI. Sources revealed that PPP had pre-planned the strategy to challenge the quorum and consulted PTI beforehand.
On PPP’s instructions, PTI ended its protest and highlighted the lack of quorum, leading to a collective walkout. PPP’s Agha Rafiullah reportedly held discussions with PTI to finalize the plan.
