PML-N leaders Khawaja Asif and Ahsan Iqbal urged the National Assembly speaker to give a ruling on the fact that their speeches from today's National Assembly session weren't being aired on television.

Addressing the session, Iqbal said: "Today is a very important session. This is a national challenge and it is the government's responsibility to also show the opposition's speeches.

"Therefore, I urge the speaker to give a ruling regarding this. PTV is a state institution," he said.

The speaker responded that the matter was being investigated. He later added that PTV Parliament was broadcasting the entire session.
