ISLAMABAD: A ruckus broke out in the Senate session today when the opposition as well as the ruling coalition, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), started protesting in the House.
During the meeting, the opposition senators made noises and shouted slogans during the speech of Law Minister Nazir Tarar. During this time, the quorum was also identified, on which the chairman of the Senate started counting the members.
At the same time, PPP senators also got up from their seats and gathered in front of the chairman’s dais and shouted slogans of “reject water theft.”
The Senate chairman asked Leader of the Opposition Sherry Rehman to bring the matter for discussion in the House. Azam Nazir Tarar said that on the instructions of the Prime Minister, the PPP has been contacted, and multi-party consultations are also under consideration.
He said that the matter will be resolved through talks; nothing will be forced.
