Opposition Removes Four Committee Heads in Response to Disorderly Conduct

Four chairpersons of standing committees from the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf were removed through no-confidence motions as a response to disorder during Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s speech in the Punjab Assembly. This action is seen as punitive, with more removals and suspensions expected for PTI lawmakers who caused disruptions.

The successful no-confidence motions targeted chairpersons of various committees, leading to their dismissal. The opposition leader criticized these actions, stating that they would not weaken the PTI legislators' loyalty to their leadership.

The opposition condemned the suspensions, alleging bias and a lack of adherence to democratic principles. The speaker defended the actions, emphasizing the importance of following rules and maintaining decorum in the assembly.
