The opposition parties on Tuesday staged a noisy protest, which forced the speaker to adjourn the Sindh Assembly session until Friday without legislations.

Tuesdays are exclusives for legislators to table their private legislations in the assembly, which started over hours late from scheduled timing and spanned for a little while as protest by the opposition and counter-shouts by treasury forced the legislature to end up inconclusive. Now the lawmakers will meet again on Friday afternoon.

With first movement of the assembly, the opposition looked ready to stir pandemonium and their shouts grew once Speaker Aga Siraj Khan Durrani came to his rostrum to chair house. "Stop dishonoring the legislature [by shouts] otherwise I will have to use my legal authority," Durrani who was taken aback by the protest told the lawmakers. Both sides of the house shouted against each other's leadership and got entangled with one another. Speaker's ruling was ignored.

Opposition leader in the house, Firdous Shamim Naqvi demanded of Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah to tender apology from people of the province while Sindh Excise and Parliamentary Affairs, Mukesh Kumar Chawla said that prime minister should apologize to the nation. Meantime, MQM's lawmakers staged a walkout from the house.
