Barring Opposition From Discussing MPA's Alleged Dual-nationality in His Absence
Speaker Rana Muhammad Iqbal Khan barred the opposition MPAs from discussing Rana Asif in his absence and refused to issue any directions against the finance minister until a court decision on his reported dual nationality as both the opposition and treasury exchanged hot words and slogans on the issue. Dual nationality and ‘dual religion’ of provincial finance minister Rana Asif Mehmood remained one of issues of the proceedings as Q League’s Samina Khawar Hayat threatened not to allow Rana to present the provincial budget.

Famous quotes containing the words barring, opposition, discussing, alleged and/or absence:
“To be a surrealist ... means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.”
—René Magritte (1898–1967)
“A man with your experience in affairs must have seen cause to appreciate the futility of opposition to the moral sentiment. However feeble the sufferer and however great the oppressor, it is in the nature of things that the blow should recoil upon the aggressor. For God is in the sentiment, and it cannot be withstood.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One can’t dull a project better than by discussing it repeatedly.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The entire construct of the “medical model” of “mental illness”Mwhat is it but an analogy? Between physical medicine and psychiatry: the mind is said to be subject to disease in the same manner as the body. But whereas in physical medicine there are verifiable physiological proofs—in damaged or affected tissue, bacteria, inflammation, cellular irregularity—in mental illness alleged socially unacceptable behavior is taken as a symptom, even as proof, of pathology.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“Meanwhile, if the fear of falling into error sets up a mistrust of Science, which in the absence of such scruples gets on with the work itself, and actually cognizes something, it is hard to see why we should not turn round and mistrust this very mistrust.... What calls itself fear of error reveals itself rather as fear of the truth.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
