National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser on Friday warned of "strict action" against anyone found involved in the "unpleasant incident" a day earlier during parliamentary proceedings.
"The unpleasant incident which took place in the NA on last day is highly condemnable," he wrote on Twitter.
"I've called a meeting on Monday, February 8, wherein the record of the proceedings will be examined to [probe] the matter. Strict action can be taken against members who were involved in that incident," he added.
Qaiser went on to say that as a "custodian of the National Assembly of Pakistan, I have to maintain the order and to regulate the proceedings of the House in accordance with parliamentary practices, rules of procedure and Conduct of Business in the National Assembly, 2007".
