Pakistan NA Marred By Ruckus As Khawaja Asif, Omar Ayub Trade Barbs | Dawn News English

Monday’s National Assembly descended into a commotion and ruckus as Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and opposition leader Omar Ayub traded barbs over treason proceedings for violators of Article 6 and where the process should begin.
Article 6 of the Constitution says: “Any person who abrogates or subverts or suspends or hold in abeyance, or attempts or conspires to abrogate or subvert or suspend or hold in abeyance the Constitution by use of force or show force or by any other unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason.”
The punishment for high treason is death or lifetime imprisonment, according to the High Treason (Punishment) Act, 1973.
Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly (NA) Omar Ayub began his address by quoting articles of the Constitution and calling for security agencies to return to the bounds mandated to them.
Criticising last week’s press conference by the director general (DG) of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Ayub said: “Security agencies cannot indulge in politics as per the Constitution,” adding that they were “tools of the state, not the state itself”.
