Lahore, June 21 (ANI): A massive shoe hurling incident took place between members of the treasury and the opposition in the Pak Punjab Assembly, after a male member labeled the female members as "circus dancers".
A female opposition member hurled a shoe at Sheikh Alla ud Din of PML-Q after they passed objectionable comments against them, reports The News.
The Punjab Assembly Speaker Rana Mohammed Iqbal warned the members to avoid resorting to such acts, or else face suspension.
Despite the Punjab Assembly warning, the opposition staged a walk out and did not participate in the assembly business and the treasury approved all the 43 demands for grant amid the opposition boycott.
The situation in the assembly heated up after Abdul Razzaq Dhillon, while responding to the protest of female opposition members against the ruling party, passed remarks against some of them.
The situation worsened after Sheikh Alla ud Din, who had indulged in verbal duels with women members quite a number of times during the last four years, stood up on his seat and continued using objectionable remarks against the women members.
During the exchange of heated arguments, a woman member from the treasury benches threw a shoe towards opposition members. In retaliation, women member Seemal Kamran hurled a shoe at Alla ud Din but missed the target. Rather the shoe hit an elderly MPA from Sheikhupura sitting on the bench next to Sheikh.
The Speaker expressed resentment over the shoe-hurling incident and announced the suspension of all involved in the act. (ANI)
