What Fazlur Rehman said in the House

“Khawaja Asif sahib is also present here,” Fazlur Rehman said, and he mentioned the agreement in Iran while the minister sat in the House.

He then turned a famous line of Asif’s against him: “Koi sharam hoti hai, koi haya hoti hai.” It means that people should have some shame and decency.

Another report quoted him asking whether the Interior Ministry has duty there too. It said both the defence minister and the foreign minister were in Pakistan while the meeting took place.

A video of the exchange has gone viral. JUI-F Senator Kamran Murtaza shared it on social media.
