Woman lawmaker humiliated inside Pak parliament, starts crying | Things can be really tough when you are a woman member
of Pakistan 's National Assembly, as you could land in an embarrassing situation when other members of the House refuse to identify you on the floor of the parliament.
An independent female lawmaker, Farkhanda Amjad Warraich was spotted weeping inside
the National Assembly after being allegedly humiliated by a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz
leader (PML-N) Khwaja Asif. Asif was addressing the House when Warraich approached
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to get his signatures on some documents. It
was then Asif urged the deputy speaker to stop parliamentarians from meeting the
Prime Minister amid the proceedings of the House. Asif referred to Warraich as
a 'stranger'in the House. "Mr Speaker, you and I should keep an eye on her to
recognise her in future," Asif said. His remarks embarrassed Warraich to such
an extent that she started weeping, The Daily Times reports. Asif, however, later
apologised to Warraich for his comments. |
