National Assembly or Cockfight Arena? The behaviour of Members of the Parliament leaves nation shocked
Was the session of the National Assembly or cockfight arena? The behaviour of Members of the Parliament during Tuesday’s session has left the nation shocked.
The whole nation in fact the whole world saw how the members of the most respected house behaved when Leader of the Opposition and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif addressed the lower house.
And moments after Shehbaz Sharif started his address, he was greeted with loud slogans and whistles from the treasury benches.
The videos of MNAs attacking each other are now doing rounds on social media showing the house in complete mayhem.
Such behaviour leaves a question mark on the moral values we as a nation now carry. When MNAs can hurl abusive language on the floor of the house, just imagine what will be situation across the country on the streets.
Due to the abusive language being used, here within we are not sharing most of those video clips doing round on social media.
However, check out the social media reactions that continue to pour in on social media:
یہ ہے بجٹ کی کتاب کی عزت، اور پارلیمان کی توقیر

کل رات سپیکر قومی اسمبلی نے ضابط جاری کیا تھا۔ تو پھر کیسے توقع کی جائے کہ عام شہری قواعد و ضوابط کی پاسداری کریں گے۔ pic.twitter.com/e6OheAcyq2
جو طوفان بدتمیزی آج برپا کیا گیا اسمبلی میں اور غلیظ زبان اور الفاظ استعمال کئے گئے اس سب کو دیکھ کر سر شرم سے جھک گیا ہے۔ یہ ہیں ہمارے حکمران اور نمائندے؟ یہ لوگ تو تمیز سے بات نہیں کر سکتے ایک دوسرے سے، ہماری نمائندگی اور ملک کی ترقی کے لیے کیا کام کریں گے۔ ہوش کے ناخن لیں۔

This behaviour is rewarded: by the media, by algorithms, and worst of all, by leaders.
Full marks to the engineers of #Dharna2014 for helping normalise this toxicity.

3 lessons from the battle of #BudgetBurn in the National Assembly:

1. Lung capacity of Pakistani parliamentarians is excellent.
2. A lot of good throwing arms.
3. Luckily the budget is printed. If we had a smart Assembly hall then tablets & laptops would cause heavy casualties.
