LAHORE: Punjab Assembly Speaker Rana Mohammad Iqbal Khan on Wednesday barred Prisons Minister Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor from attending the PA proceedings for eight days for misconduct.
Besides, opposition member Bushra Nawaz Gardezi was also denied entry to the House for one day for displaying a banner containing derogatory remarks against the Leader of the House. The opposition, while accepting the decision taken by the speaker, ended the boycott of the assembly session and participated in the proceedings whereas the session was later prorogued by the speaker.
Soon after the speaker finished his remarks, Opposition Leader Chaudhry Zaheeruddin Khan thanked the speaker and sought an apology from his side over the incident, which took place on June 29. He lauded the speaker for his decision, saying the decision would be remembered in parliamentary history.
PML-N Punjab President and senior parliamentarian Sardar Zulfiqar Ali Khan Khosa, in his address on the occasion, also sought an apology over the June 29 episode. Senior Minister Raja Riaz Ahmed also tendered an apology for using objectionable remarks against PML-Q legislator Mohsin Leghari.
