They blamed the senate chairman for being biased and supporting the government.
PTI Senator Faisal Javed also had arguments with the senate chairman and asked him whether he was the chairman of the government or of the opposition. Responding to the allegation of the PTI senator, Sanjrani said that he was the chairman of the whole House.
Complaining to the chairman, Opposition Leader Shahzad Waseem said that he (the chairman) did not give him the floor to speak on the issue.
Sanjrani made several requests for the smooth functioning of the House and the conduct of legislative business, but the opposition members circled his dais and continued their protest.
Senate Chairman Muhammad Sadiq Sanjrani adjourned the proceedings of the House amid the opposition’s protest.
The chairman adjourned the session to meet again on Thursday (October 20) at 4 pm.
