Opp walks out of Assembly
The Punjab Assembly (PA) opposition on Monday walked out from the House to protest the speaker not allowing them to discuss the Pakistan Muslim League's alleged pre-poll rigging. Opposition leader Rana Sanaullah Khan, on a point of order, told the speaker that the government was harassing opposition candidates. He said that it was forcing the candidates not to participate in the third phase of local elections and alleged that PML-backed candidates were using state machinery. The Punjab Law minister did not reply to the opposition member's allegations.
