LAHORE: The opposition in the Punjab Assembly on Wednesday staged a protest against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led provincial government for not presenting the Joint Investigation Team’s (JIT) report on the Sahiwal incident in the House for discussion.

Members of the opposition, particularly Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), tore copies of the day’s agenda of the assembly and gathered in front of the speaker’s dais in protest against the government’s decision to reject their request to suspend the assembly proceedings to hold discussion on the Sahiwal JIT report.

Provincial Law Minister Raja Basharat said the Sahiwal incident was not part of the agenda as the provincial legislature’s proceedings would continue as per rules.
