In an unusual development in the National Assembly today, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Zartaj Gul requested the Speaker of House Ayaz Sadiq to “look into my eyes” when she addressed the floor with the speaker replying, “I don’t look into women’s eyes.”
The PTI leader stated, “This is a request, sir, that if you don’t make eye contact with me, I cannot conduct my speech. I am a leader who won this seat through 150,000 votes from the people.”
The speaker of the National Assembly replied, “I will listen to you but will not make eye contact with women.”
The female PTI leader clapped back, “If you ignore the 52 percent female population and don’t make eye contact with them, then only selected leaders will get to this House.”
