KARACHI (Dunya News) - The Sindh Assembly resembled a fish market after members of opposition and government exchanged heated arguments over local bodies (LB) ordinance on Friday.
The ruckus started after the opposition chanted slogans and tore copies of the agenda.
As soon as the session began in chair of Speaker Sindh Assembly Agha Siraj Durani, parliamentary leader of PML-N Irfanullah Marwat tried to submit a unanimous resolution of the Opposition against Local Government Ordinance but the speaker didn’t permit after which the opposition stood and exchanged hot words with the government officials.
The opposition accused government of not holding a debate over the ordinance, adding that the conduct of speaker was also disappointing.
The opposition members boycotted the session and staged walkout from the Sindh Assembly chanting slogans against the provincial government and the ordinance.
However, the treasury members continued the session and passed Sindh Local Government (Amended) Act 2013 majority.
The Sindh Assembly also passed a resolution for public holiday in the province on December 27 to pay homage to former prime minister and PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto on the occasion of her death anniversary.
Later, the Speaker adjourned the Sindh Assembly session for an indefinite period.
