Ruckus mars NA session as members divided over anti-militancy operation

On Sunday, there was unrest in the National Assembly due to the government and opposition’s continued disagreement on Azm-e-Istehkam, a new military operation aimed at eliminating militancy.
The administration promised to resolve the issues raised by the opposition members from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), but they claimed that they were not given trust over the operation.
The opposition benches raised a ruckus during the lower house session, which was originally intended to discuss the budget but deviated to discuss opinions regarding the operation.
The PTI staged an hour-long walkout from the session, which they eventually returned for. Their leaders then addressed the National Assembly while chanting “end the operation” and “we want peace.”
