Members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the Punjab Assembly slapped and pulled the hair of Deputy Speaker of the Punjab Assembly Dost Muhammad Mazari prior of the election of the Chief Minister of Punjab.
According to reports, PTI legislators assaulted the Deputy Speaker, who is also a member of their own party.
PML-Q’s Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, who is also backed by the PTI, has voiced reservations over the post of deputy speaker, claiming that despite being the speaker, he is not the custodian of the house today because he is a candidate for chief minister.
