LAHORE: Newly elected members of the Punjab Assembly have taken their oath of office.
The oath-taking session was marked by loud sloganeering from the opposition benches, while government members countered with chants of “Sher Aaya.”
Those sworn in included Mian Sultan Ranjha, Ali Haider Noor Niazi, Azad Ali Tabassum, Tahir Pervaiz, Ahmad Shehryar, and Muhammad Hanif.
Speaker Punjab Assembly Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan administered the oath as opposition members created a persistent uproar.
