ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - President Asif Ali Zardari has summoned the session of the National Assembly tomorrow (Monday).

According to an official notification, the National Assembly will meet on January 12 at 5:00 pm at the Parliament House.

The session has been convened by President Zardari on the advice of the prime minister, during which various matters will be taken up.

It is worth noting that the president has exercised his powers under Clause 1 of Article 54 of the Constitution to summon the National Assembly session.

Earlier, the Punjab Police have formally initiated an investigation into the disruption that occurred during Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi’s visit to the Punjab Assembly.

According to assembly sources, the Inspector General (IG) of Punjab has submitted a copy of the incident report to the Punjab Home Department for further action.

The Punjab Assembly Secretariat has been informed about the proceedings.

The report prepared by a committee formed by Punjab Assembly Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan was also sent to the IG Punjab.

The report included video evidence and recommended legal action, suggesting the involvement of law enforcement agencies for a thorough investigation.

The report stated that the opposition provided an incomplete list of guests accompanying the KP CM, causing identification issues.

An individual named Matiullah Barqi allegedly attempted to enter the assembly by providing false information, claiming to be MPA Ashfaq from PK-89, which was later denied by KP Minister for Local Government, Meena Khan.

Barqi reportedly resisted security instructions, resulting in scuffles and verbal abuse.
