ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly (NA) on Thursday suspended PTI lawmaker Muhammad Iqbal Khan Afridi for the entire upcoming budget session, with Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq accusing him of repeatedly violating the sanctity of the House through “inappropriate and unparliamentary” conduct.
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb will present the federal budget for the next fiscal year (FY26–27) in the NA on Friday.
“Iqbal Khan has violated the sanctity of the House multiple times through his inappropriate and unparliamentary behaviour,” the speaker said. He added that multiple complaints had been received about the lawmaker’s abuse of NA employees.
Sadiq said the MNA had also behaved improperly with the NA’s director general (media) and security officials.
