On the day Prime Minister Imran Khan requested a vote of confidence in the National Assembly, demonstrators from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and supporters from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) got into a short brawl and shouted slogans at each other outside the Parliament in the red zone.
The law and order situation exploded as the parliament prepared for Prime Minister Khan’s vote of confidence despite the joint opposition’s boycott of the session, according to details.

While many reports have claimed that PTI supporters instigated the violence, Dr Arsalan Khalid, the Focal Person to Prime Minister Imran Khan on Digital Media, and Azhar Mashwani, the Focal Person to Chief Minister Punjab on Digital Punjab, have claimed that Abbasi and Malik attacked PTI supporters when they chanted anti-PML-N slogans.

Later, a large number of law enforcement officers arrived on the scene and successfully separated the two parties’ political staff.
The 30th NA session, which will be held on a single point agenda, will show whether Prime Minister Imran Khan has the support of the house and whether lawmakers who allegedly abandoned the ruling candidate in the recent Senate election hold to their guns.
