The members of the party made hubbub and gathered around the Speaker’s seat . But the Speaker switched off the microphone.
During this noise the Speaker directed Finance Minister Ishaq Dar to carry on the debate on Finance Bill. On which exchange of hot words took place between Farooq Sattar and Ishaq Dar. On the occasion, opposition leader Syed Khurshid Shah, Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafiq and Aftab Sheikh intervened and pacified both the leaders.
Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said that the blame of discrimination could not be levelled against him as he gave almost 20 hours to the opposition members to speak during budget debate.
