LAHORE: The PPP blames the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government for, what it says, deliberately spoiling the atmosphere in the National Assembly by introducing the Namoos-i-Risalat resolution through a private member instead of the treasury.

“What will be the legal status of the resolution, which is not being tabled by the government itself? In fact, the government wants to get out of the dead end by presenting a resolution through the media,” Punjab PPP President Qamar Zaman Kaira says in a statement issued on Friday.

He claims that the government had got the resolution removed from the agenda of the house a day after its introduction just to appease ‘someone’. He says that the government is deliberately spoiling the atmosphere in the National Assembly and ridiculing parliamentary traditions as no member from the opposition benches was allowed to speak in the house on Friday.
