Pak woman legislator throws shoe at colleague

Seemal Kamran, a member of the opposition PML-Q, and Shaikh Allauddin, a member of the treasury benches, were both suspended because of their actions within the Assembly.

Kamran had thrown a shoe at Allauddin after he made vulgar remarks against women opposition lawmakers yesterday.

Both legislators were informed at the gate of the assembly this morning that the Speaker had barred them from entering the House till the conclusion of the ongoing budget session.

Kamran refused to accept the order and insisted on going inside the Assembly.
