Following the opposition's walkout, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Parliamentary Affairs Babar Awan said the manner in which the opposition was protesting and surrounding the speaker's dais was against parliamentary norms.

According to The Dawn, the opposition's walkout and the poor presence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and allied parties' lawmakers in the house created the quorum problem forcing National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaisar to adjourn proceedings of the house till Monday.

It was the third consecutive session of the lower house which had to be adjourned because of lack of quorum and the opposition's walkout. (ANI)
