In the very first session of the 16th National Assembly, members of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) supported by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and members of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) raised harsh slogans against each other in front of Speaker Dice.
After coming to the House, PML-N leaders and former Prime Ministers Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif shook hands with Pakistan Peopels Party (PPP) leaders Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto.
