LAHORE: Opposition in the Punjab Assembly on Tuesday showed their resentment over deaths allegedly caused by the reaction of drugs prescribed by the Punjab Institute of Cardiology, DawnNews reported.

Speaking during the Punjab Assembly session, Pakistan Peoples Party’s deputy parliamentary leader Shaukat Basra brought up the question of finding responsibility for the deaths.

The PPP leader wondered that although Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif also held the portfolio of health ministry, he was not present in the assembly to address the issue.

Pakistan Muslim League - Quaid's member of provincial assembly, Samina Khawar Hayat demanded the chief minister's resignation. In addition, she demanded the registration of a criminal case against him.

Members of opposition and treasury benches started chanting slogans against each other after Hayat’s demands.
