‘We will stage a massive protest if our members are insulted in this manner,’ said Hamza.
Regarding the previous boisterous session of the assembly in which the budget was presented, Hamza claimed that a doctored picture was issued which displayed documents tattered into pieces, calling for an inquiry into the matter.
‘Speaker’s role is to take the opposition on board as well,’ said Hamza and highlighted that the Speaker National Assembly sad Qaiser issued production orders for Shehbaz Sharif.
The PML-N leader expressed that not a single evidence was presented in the case in which Shehbaz Sharif was taken into custody by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The protest was staged as the Speaker Punjab Assembly had barred entry of lawmakers from PML-N for creating disturbance in the house during the previous session; the politicians include Tariq Masih Gill, Yaseen Amir, Ashraf Rasul, Zaib un Nisa, Mirza Javed and Malik Waheed.
