The joint sitting of the Parliament was underway in which important bills including National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and Election Act amendment bills were passed.

The protest was led by the party’s leaders Aliya Hamza, Kanwal Shauzab and Maleeka Bokhari. The lawmakers were carrying pots in their hands.

The protesters tried to enter the Parliament House building by climbing onto the gates to record their protest.

They chanted slogans of “imported hukoomat namanzoor” (no to imported government) against the rising inflation in the country as well as the bills passed by the coalition government during a joint session.

In a bid to ward off any untoward incident, police personnel also reached the site of the protest.
