National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq suspended on Saturday the membership of MNA Sanaullah Khan Mastikhel for the current session due to the use of vulgar language in the House against Defense Minister Khawaja Asif.
The suspension followed an uproar during a session where Mastikhel - representing the Sunni Unity Council - made offensive remarks directed at Defense Minister Khawaja Asif.
The incident occurred during Mastikhel's speech, wherein he claimed that his faction was elected through "form 45," while alleging that the current government was elected through "form 47."
The provocative statement led to an immediate commotion in the House, disrupting proceedings and forcing the Speaker to adjourn the session temporarily.
The situation escalated when female members of the Assembly approached the Speaker's chamber to register their protest against Mastikhel's inappropriate language.
Responding to their grievances, Speaker Sadiq decided to suspend Mastikhel's membership for the ongoing session.
"I have no words to condemn such behavior," stated Speaker Sadiq, emphasizing the need for maintaining decorum and respect within the parliamentary proceedings. The Speaker's decision underscores the Assembly's commitment to upholding parliamentary standards and ensuring respectful discourse among its members.
