Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, Barrister Gohar said that despite court orders, meetings with the PTI founder have not been facilitated for the past 34 weeks. He stated that if access is not granted by tomorrow, PTI would boycott the budget session.
He urged the Speaker of the National Assembly to issue a ruling on the matter. In response, the Speaker said that if Imran Khan were a member of the House, he would have issued production orders. The Speaker further noted that the government and opposition were brought together for dialogue three times, but the opposition did not participate.
Following the protest, PTI lawmakers staged a walkout from the National Assembly in protest against the denial of meetings with their party founder.
Later, speaking to the media, Barrister Gohar said the upcoming budget would not be a “people-friendly budget” as inflation remains high in the country. He also called on the government to provide genuine relief to the public.
