WATCH: Omar Ayub, Azam Nazir Tarar trade barbs in NA session

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Omar Ayub and Law and Justice Minister Azam Nazir Tarar traded barbs during the National Assembly (NA) session on Friday.

All started when, Azam Nazir Tarar tabled seven ordinances and two bills in the house, amid a strong protest by the opposition members.

Speaking on the point of order, the SIC leader Omar Ayub Khan said the opposition rejected the ordinances. He asked the speaker to take pictures of those favouring the ordinances as those were “passed to sell Pakistan”.

SIC’s Ayub said first the lawmakers must to see what the ordinance was. 

Responding to the point of order, the law minister said pictures should be taken of those who were committing treason against Pakistan and writing letters to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The opposition leaders should first read the ordinance before speaking on it, he suggested.

The law minister also suggested the opposition to stand for the country, not behind a “prisoner”.

The SIC members’ teared documents enraged the speaker, who said if it happened again then he would be forced to take disciplinary action.
