ISLAMABAD – Former ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has ended its boycott of the joint sitting of the Parliament and attended the session to register its protest against the delay in the elections of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies.
PTI lawmakers attended a sitting of both houses of the parliament that was summoned to discuss the ongoing political and economic crisis.
During the session, PTI lawmakers caused commotion to disrupt the proceedings, trading blows with treasury benches for causing chaos in crisis-hit nation. Government and PTI lawmakers marred the session by sloganeering against each other despite warnings from the speaker.

It was learnt that several leaders of Imran Khan-led party took placards in the house and registered protest in front of the speaker’s dais.
PTI Senators Waleed Iqbal, Saifullah Abro, and Fawzia Arshad were spotted among other members.
