Opposition lawmakers from the PTI (Sunni Ittehad Council) and ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmakers have been at loggerheads after 11 opposition members were suspended for 15 sittings due to "rowdyism" during Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz's address on Friday.
Maryam Nawaz was addressing a session of the Punjab Assembly on the budget for the financial year 2025 under chair of Speaker Malik Ahmad Khan when a ruckus broke out in the House.
Days after former Sindh governor Muhammad Zubair ended decades-long association with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), another prominent leader of the party has called it quits, revealing the internal rift in the party, according to ARY News.
The Jamiat Ulema-Islam-F on Saturday accused the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of spreading false propaganda against its ideology and central leadership.
PTI leader Malik Ahmed Khan Bhachar said the issue has also "exposed" Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), who he accused of providing tacit support to the law.
Emphasising his commitment to reconciliation, he identified Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan as a primary impediment to fostering political harmony nationwide.
Former governor of Sindh and an estranged leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Mohammad Zubair has claimed that the party President Nawaz Sharif is currently reversing the narrative he previously supported, reported ARY News.
With former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif stating that Islamabad "violated" the agreement between him and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, India on Thursday said "an objective view emerging in Pakistan as well as on this matter".
The party's five-member election commission, chaired by Rana Sanaullah and including Iqbal Jhagra, Ishrat Ashraf, Jamal Shah Kakar, and Khealdas Kohistani, oversaw the election process.
