Clash was erupted in the meeting of NA Committee on Finance and its chairperson Fauzia Wahab walked out of session. During the meeting, Kashmala Tariq said that Hina Rabbani Khar had given a statement on TV programme that Reformed GST will help collect 22 billion rupees. She said that Hina speaks loudly on TV screens but never talks in the meeting. On this, Fauzia Wahab said that Kashmala was using non-parliamentary language. Kashmala replied forcefully that she never used such language and the chairperson aimlessly lost temper. On this, Khaqan Abbasi and other members interrupted them and said that chun na kerna is also a saying but not a non-parliamentary language. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi asked Fauzia Wahab that if you were not able to run the committee, you should quit and give the seat someone. On this, Fauzia Wahab angrily walked out of the meeting.
