PPP Protests Ministers Absence in Assembly
Pakistan People’s Party had been complaining about the frequent absence of the ministers from the house.
On Wednesday, the lawmakers belonging to both the treasury and opposition voiced concerns over the absence of the ministers during the question hour.
However, all the concerns were disregarded, as no minister, state minister or parliamentary secretary was present during the question hour session on Thursday, which resulted in protests from both the allied PPP and the opposition PTI.
In today’s session, PPP senior leader, Syed Naveed Qamar got furious over the absence of the ministers and response from other authorities.

He further added, “Attendance improved for two days but has dropped again today.”
