Fawad rose to speak in the House in response to speech earlier made by Pakistan People’s Party senior parliamentarian Khursheed Shah.

Speaker Asad Qaisar intervened as the minister lost his cool, and asked the lawmaker to control his emotions and refrain from remarks that are against the assembly conduct. He also ordered expunging a few remarks by the information minister.‘It’s strange that looting the country’s wealth is parliamentary, but declaring dacoit a dacoit in un-parliamentary,” he said in his outburst of anger.
