However, this did not happen and Awhad expressed his dissatisfaction against the speaker regarding the same saying, “if there is no importance of the whip, what is the use of keeping the same? People are excited about the whip, so allow the same to be presented before the people".
Earlier in the day, the agitated legislators removed the whip and tore the documents towards the speaker over the heated debate regarding the reservation issue for the Muslim community. According to the custom, if the opposition removes the whip without the permission of the speaker, the session shall be adjourned.
