Islamabad: The treasury benches on Monday protested during the Senate session over the speech of opposition member Maulana Ataur Rehman against Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s comments over Shehbaz Sharif’s arrest.
The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazl) leader declared the National Assembly Opposition Leader’s arrest an attempt to subdue the sanctity of the house.
“The prime minister doesn’t understand where the country is heading,” he said.
The ministers and the members of the treasury benches protested against Rehman’s remarks. And Senate Chairman demanded an apology from the opposition member.
Meanwhile, the JUI-F leader refused to apologise for his remarks.
“When we say anything they object to it on the pretext of disturbing the sanctity of the house but what about the sanctity of the country,” he said.
