the Punjab government, condemned the incident and assured the Opposition that the law minister would apprise the House of the steps taken. Spokesman Punjab Government Zaeem Qadri informed the assembly that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif had taken a notice of the firing by the Daska police and IG Punjab had been directed to investigate and arrest the police officers involved. Meanwhile, Chief Justice Lahore High Court Mansoor Malik has taken a suo motu notice of the killing of two lawyers on Monday, Qadri informed the assembly. PML-N MPA Sheikh Ijaz added that there was a consensus in the House over the matter and the SHO Daska had already been arrested by the police. He criticised the PTI for using the matter for political point-scoring.
The House became a victim of disorder during the Question Hour on the transport on Monday as PML-N MPA Inamullah Khan Niazi exchanged harsh words with PTI MPA Abdul Majeed Khan Niazi in Saraiki after the latter accused him of repeatedly changing parties. The row between the two parliamentarians began after PML-N MPA Muhammad Waheed Gull criticised the Opposition Party for mocking Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Nawaz Chohan for his indecipherable speech. Gull, addressing the Speaker on a Point of Order, blasted the PTI for submitting their resignations and returning to the House. Shortly after this, a fight erupted between the Niazis with Inamullah cursing PTI Chief Imran Khan. Minister Nadeem Kamran and PML-N MPA Rana Arshad proceeded to calm down the angered MPA.
Returning to the House after the walkout, the PML-N MPA addressed the assembly and regretted that a member of his stature was made subject to non-parliamentary language. He proceeded to raise a Privilege Motion against the SHO City Mianwali for raiding his house without warrants and harassing his manager while he was in Lahore for assembly sessions. The PML-N MPA said apologies from the relevant persons are insufficient and needed to be seriously probed and action taken. On this occasion, Deputy Speaker assured Inamullah Khan Niazi that this would not be the case and he directed the Privilege Committee to inquire into the police raid.
Issues regarding non-allotment of cars to winners in Shahbaz Sharif’s Apna Rozgar Lottery were also brought up in the House by PTI MPA Dr. Murad Rass and PML-N MPA Sheikh Allaudin assured him that a Grievance Committee had already been formed to check this discrepancy. The PML-N MPA later urged the Punjab government to table an Adjournment Motion to stop the heavy imports of agricultural products from India as it was becoming difficult for local farmers to sell their produces in the markets.
