LAHORE: The Punjab Assembly on Wednesday adopted treasury`s two resolutions regarding Youm-iTakbeer and Baba Guru Nanak`s birth anniversary amidst massive sloganeering by the Pakistan Tehreek-iInsaf-led opposition. PA Speaker Rana Muhammad Iqbal Khan, earlier, did not allow opposition leader Mian Mahmoodur Rasheed to table a resolution to condemn Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s attitude towards Nawaz Sharif as the former reiterated old blames of terrorism while reciprocating MrSharif`s good gesture of going to participate in Modi`s swearing-in ceremony in New Delhi.

As soon as the opposition leader started reading the resolution, the women members on treasury benches stood up and started chanting slogans Nawaz Sharif Zindabad, Shahbaz Sharif Zindabad, and `Chor machaey shor`. The women MPAs did not stop even on repeated orders of the speaker, who wanted to have the House in order.

While the treasury continued with sloganeering, the opposition insisted that the speaker should stop women legislators and let them table its resolution. Amidst the hullabaloo, the speaker allowed the treasury to table its resolutions that infuriated the opposition members who gathered in front of the speaker`s podium and chanted slogans against India, Modi, Nawaz Sharif aswell as the speaker.

Punjab Zakat and Ushr Minister Malik Nadeem Kamran tabled a resolution in connection with the Youm-i-Takbeer (May 28) and paid tributes to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for making Pakistan world`s seventh nuclear power. The resolution said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would also transform Pakistan into a model country. It hoped that he would soon overcome the energy crisis and terrorism. It also paid tributes to Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for serving the people of Punjab.

PML-N`s minority MPA Ramesh Singh Arora also tabled a resolution demanding that the birth anniversary of Baba Guru Nanak should be observed officially in Punjab in November and there should be a closed holiday. Both Mr Nadeem and Mr Arora read their resolutionsamidst uproar and the speaker had to wear headphones to read out the two resolutions. He, however, got both the resolutions passed with a majority vote. As the two resolutions were passed, the speaker announced beginning of debate on education.

However, the opposition continued chanting slogans. The speaker then asked the opposition twice whether they did not want to discuss education in house, and eventually prorogued the session.

Earlier, the house discussed affairs of the Punjab Cooperatives Department in the Question Hour.

Minister Iqbal Channar, however, remained dependent on `chits` coming from the department secretary to answer almost every supplementary question.

Amir Sultan Cheema was not satisfied with the answers given by the minister.
