Opposition Leader Khawaja Izharul Hasan had to intervene and separate the two groups involved in the brawl.

Details reveal that legislators of MQM traded blows with those belonging to ruling PPP.

The MQM leader said that no specific person was at fault but the wrong process opted for procedures was the reason to blame for the unfortunate incident.
