The Sindh Assembly turned into a fish market as strong words were exchanged between the members of Pakistan People’s Party and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) during the session on Friday.
Friday’s assembly session witnessed chaos as opposition parties led by the MQM protested over what they called ‘fake’ appointments by the PPP provincial government.
The house echoed with slogans of “shame, shame” as Acting Speaker Shehla Raza appealed opposition members to keep the house in order. In the Question Hour, MQM’s Faisal Sabzwari addressed the house and raised questions that why the government had not removed those responsible for fake appointments in the Sindh education department. Education Minister Nisar Khuhro said that former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf had also called the people of Sindh ineligible. Thus there started a wave of strong words between the assembly members of the two parties. The assembly members of the MQM started chanting slogans when Information Minister Sharjeel Memon tried to address the session.
Memon came up to defend the government but his statement led to exchange of hot words with the MQM MPAs. Deputy Speaker of the Sindh Assembly Syed Shehla Raza instructed the assembly members to stay quiet and be seated. The pandemonium later forced the acting speaker to take a 10-minute break.
According to unofficial sources, the number of kidnapped tribesmen is about 100 and they had been picked up for their involvement in the drug trade.
