The lawmakers of the ruling party also threw “lotas” at Mazari and then attacked him despite the presence of security guards. Earlier, the session was delayed after PTI lawmakers manhandled Deputy Speaker.
On the other hand, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) staged a march out of the provincial assembly after Pervaiz Elahi was injured in the unrest.
