Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Omar Ayub Khan expressed concerns over Bushra Bibi's well-being, alleging that she was being subjected to slow poisoning, citing “newly emerged evidence”.
The session, presided over by Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, witnessed a heated exchange as opposition members, led by Ayub, protested in front of the speaker's dais, demanding the release of the former premier and his wife.
In response to the protests, Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar acknowledged the right to protest but stressed the need for such battles to be fought within the appropriate forums, adding that only matters of public interest ought to be discussed on the floor of the House.
"The courts are the rightful authorities to decide on matters under their purview," Tarar stated, recalling that “we and many others have experienced similar phases”.
