The incident comes hours after a chaos was erupted at the gate of the assembly when federal ministers were barred from entering the premises but they forced their way inside it as the session was resumed.
During today’s session with low attendance from ruling PTI and PML-Q lawmakers, the opposition demanded Chief Minister Parvez Elah to get a vote of confidence if he had required numbers.
