National Assembly Speaker, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, has barred YouTubers and unauthorized individuals from entering Parliament House, as per ARY News sources.
The report highlighted that the Speaker suspended eight security personnel for allowing unauthorized individuals entry. These employees were stationed at the inner gates of Parliament House.
Sources added that the Sergeant-at-Arms has been tasked with investigating the suspended personnel who permitted unauthorized individuals to enter Parliament House without identity cards. It was disclosed that these individuals had also halted some members and ministers within Parliament premises to request photographs.
The incident came to light when Defense Minister Khawaja Asif complained to the Speaker. He emphasized the need for stringent security measures within the National Assembly (NA) building and its lobbies.
Speaking on the National Assembly floor, Asif noted the frequent presence of unidentified individuals at the building’s entrance, hallways, and elevators, posing significant security risks.
Asif suggested reinstating the previous system for issuing passes to MNAs to ensure security in Parliament. He also expressed concern about individuals in the gallery who often chant slogans, undermining the House’s sanctity. He stressed that the National Assembly is not a place for protests or demonstrations.
