PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly on Tuesday witnessed physical brawl between the treasury and opposition members after the latter tried to surround the speaker’s dice, ARY NEWS reported.

According to reports, the members from both sides of the aisle gathered before Speaker Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani and exchanged heated arguments.

Soon it turned into a physical fight after an opposition lawmaker hailing from Awami National Party, Ahmed Khan Bahadur, attacked Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) legislator Fazal Hakeem Khan.

The lawmakers from both sides however, intervened to separate them from each other. During the ruckus in the house, opposition lawmaker Nighat Orakzai also climbed her assembly seat. She was also involved in sitting on the speaker’s seat during an earlier protest in the house.
