PM Khan urged to resolve it with mutual understanding.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday has expressed concerns over the issue of banning Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry’s entrance in the upper house for name calling during the session.

In a telephonic contact, PM Khan discussed the matter with Chairman Senate Sadiq Sanjrani and urged to resolve it with mutual understanding.

Meanwhile, the chairman also informed the premier that difficulties are being faced in holding the session due to Fawad Chaudhry’s aggressive behavior.  

On November 15, Chairman Senate Sadiq Sanjrani had banned Fawad Chaudhry’s entrance in the upper house over name calling during the session and demanded Fawad to tender apology.

However, Fawad Chaudhry made it overtly clear that he would not tender apology in upper house of the parliament over what was generally perceived as ‘inappropriate behavior’ by the Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani.

He made these remarks in Dunya Kamran Khan Kay Sath.

Terming Sanjrani an accidental chairman, Fawad asserted that he had not ever articulated unparliamentary words in House. He said, “Ostensibly, it seems that Senate chairman is under pressure. He [Sanjrani] fears no-confidence motion.”

Fawad wondered that no apology was sought from Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) senator Mushahid Ullah Khan.

“PM said that things would not work accordingly if ministers were humiliated in House”, the firebrand minister tells Kamran Khan.
He reiterated that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) would implement its manifesto.
