Govt, opposition clash bitterly in Senate over information minister's invective
There was another showdown between Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry and a group of PML-N Senators led by Mushahidullah Khan on Wednesday after the former made an appearance in the upper house of parliament to deliver a speech without tendering a fresh apology for his stinging criticism of opposition parties last week.
In a heated speech in the National Assembly last Thursday on corruption, the information minister had referred to opposition party members as “robbers and thieves", and accused Mushahidullah of nepotism.
The PTI leader's language was deemed unbecoming and undignified by opposition lawmakers, who had then proceeded to walk out of the assembly.
