PTI’s Omar Ayub led a fiery speech on the floor of the House soon after today’s National Assembly session began to elect a speaker and deputy speaker.

“The House is incomplete without women seats. How can you do this procedure? How can we run this House?” Ayub questioned NA Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf.

“Form 45 says one thing, Form 47 says something else. Let the rightful candidates come into this House, who had a rightful mandate. Let Imran Khan come into this House.

“We want justice. It’s in PTI’s name,” Ayub said as PTI-backed lawmakers around him applauded him for his words. Ashraf then called for a return to the session’s agenda.
