The speaker Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly had to adjourn the session following ruckus in the house that wore a look of a fish market on Tuesday. In fact the provincial Assembly on Tuesday witnessed physical brawl between the treasury and opposition members after the latter tried to surround the speaker’s dice protesting over being neglected by the chair.
As usual the Pakistan Peoples party parliamentarian from reserved seats Nighat Orakzai was on the forefront to create ugly situation. The members from both sides of the aisle gathered before Speaker Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani and exchanged heated arguments. Soon it turned into a physical fight after an opposition lawmaker hailing from Awami National Party, Ahmed Khan Bahadur, attacked Pakistan Tehreek-Insaaf (PTI) legislator Fazal Hakeem Khan.
The lawmakers from both sides however, intervened to calm the situation separate them from each other. During the ruckus in the house, opposition lawmaker Nighat Orakzai climbed to her assembly seat. She was also involved in sitting on the speaker’s seat during an earlier protest in the house.
