ISLAMABAD: Members of the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N)  disrupted session of the National Assembly and  staged a walkout from the Senate when they were resumed on Wednesday, DawnNews reported.

The PML-N senators staged a walkout from the upper house over Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s refusal to step down from the premiership after his conviction in the contempt of court case  and 'non-implementation' of the recommendations of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS) regarding the drone attacks.

Senators from the PML-N protested in the upper house causing a chaotic situation there.

PML-N's Senator Raja Zafar ul Haq said that the senate session was unconstitutional because after the Supreme Court’s verdict against Gilani, he was no more the prime minister and hence the PML-N does not accept Gilani’s cabinet.

Haq said that despite the joint resolution passed in the parliament on national security and future rules of engagement with the United States, US drone strikes have not been stopped in the country.

Moreover, the lawmakers belonging to PML-N disrupted the National Assembly session demanding resignation of the prime minister.

The PML-N lawmakers tore the copies of the day’s agenda of the session and shouted slogans against the government.

They wore black stripes on their arms in protest and carried placards with the slogans of ‘Go Gilani Go’ printed on them.

Gilani did not show up in today’s parliament’s session to avoid any unpleasant incident.

The parliament’s session was subsequently adjourned until 10:00 am on Thursday.
