ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) lawmaker Ghazala Saifi on Friday said that she has lodged an FIR against Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) MNA Shagufta Jumani after the latter slapped her during the National Assembly session on Thursday.
Sharing the details with media persons, the PTI MNA said that Shagufta slapped her after she took her placard. “I have registered an FIR against her,” she said.
She said that it is the joint responsibility of the lawmakers to protect the sanctity of the parliament, but unfortunately, the opposition is bent on destroying the image of a sacred institution.
According to a report, amid a noisy session of the National Assembly on Thursday, Shagufta had slapped Ghazala near the speaker’s dice.
The federal government had tabled a mini-budget and other amended laws in the National Assembly session, in which the opposition lawmakers had come face-to-face to the government legislators to stop the proceedings of the House.
The opposition lawmakers had besieged the speaker’s dice during the session to disrupt the assembly’s proceedings for the mini-budget.
The treasury and opposition lawmakers were seen pushing each other during speeches in the NA.
