ISLAMABAD:
The government stood together for a cause in the National Assembly on Monday, as lawmakers protested against unannounced power cuts across the country amid heatwaves.
The joint opposition staged a walkout from the proceedings in the legislative house, blaming the government for its failure to control load-shedding during the fasting month.
More than 350 people have been confirmed dead in several government-run hospitals of Karachi alone in the past three days owing to the sweltering weather. Hours-long power outages in Ramazan have added to the misery of people.
