National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq sought replies from foreign, commerce and education secretaries for failing to show up at the assembly session.
The speaker asked junior officials of the ministries to leave the session and send secretaries to the assembly to answer questions related to their ministries. He said that insult of sanctity of the Parliament by government officials will not be tolerated.
As per rules and regulations, the secretaries are bound to answer questions of parliamentarians raised during the question-hour session.
