The opposition in the National Assembly on Wednesday staged two token walkouts as the lower house of the parliament discussed the impact of frequent power outages on the country's economy and agriculture. Maulana Akbar Chitrali of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) led the first walk out against the alleged setting up of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) offices in Chitral. Chaudhry Manzoor Ahmed of the Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) led the second walkout to express solidarity with journalists against the non-implementation of the 7th Wage Board Award.
