PESHAWAR - Expressing condemnation for the recent outbreak of hooliganism and alleged physical and verbal abuse against a female lawmaker from their party during a session of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Member National Assembly Amir Muqam has demanded action against the individuals affiliated with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) involved in the incident.
Addressing the media at a press conference in the Peshawar Press Club, Muqam denounced the actions of what he described as “PTI thugs,” alleging that they resorted to hurling abusive language at PML-N lawmaker Sobia Shahid, as well as throwing shoes and objects at her, while also directing derogatory remarks towards other opposition members.
Accompanied by PML-N Member Provincial Assembly Sobia Shahid, Women Wing General Secretary Farah Khan, and others, Muqam disclosed that they had formally lodged a complaint at the East Cantt Police Station, urging the registration of a case against the unruly attendees of the assembly session.
Expressing his intention to escalate the matter to the Federal Investigation Agency and other law-enforcement agencies if prompt action was not taken by the police to file a First Information Report against the violent PTI workers, Muqam underscored that the events transpiring on the legislative assembly floor that day, particularly against a female lawmaker, brought disgrace upon the entire Pakhtun community, both nationally and internationally.
