NA suspends Tariq Bashir Cheema for current session over Zartaj Gul's issue
The MNA already tendered apology to the PTI leader
Islamabad: The National Assembly (NA) on Friday suspended PML-Q MNA and ex-minister Tariq Bashir Cheema from today’s session after he allegedly used abusive language against PTI leader and SIC MNA Zartaj Gul Wazir.
Cheema delivered a speech in the assembly on Thursday, during which he was interrupted by Gul who pinpointed the Bahawalpur University case in which Cheema’s son was a suspect.
Gul's remarks angered Cheema who then went to Gul’s seat and was seen whispering something in her ear.
As soon as he returned to his seat, opposition members started gathering in front of the speaker’s dais and lodged a strong protest, alleging that Mr Cheema had used very objectionable and abusive language and demanded action against him.
After the opposition benches approached the speaker and recorded their protest, Cheema tendered an 'unconditional' apology. Gul also accepted the apology.
