LAHORE Last year, self-appointed righteous man Sana Ullah Khan Mastikhel was in the news for presenting an anti-media resolution, and this time he turned guns on his own colleagues when he explicitly declined to mark his attendance in the Punjab Assembly register. Though claiming to be unbending to any authority, blowing hot and cold simultaneously Mastikhel was quick in praising Chief Minister Punjab for latters leadership qualities. Moreover, Mastikhel was also instrumental in creating history when he did not obey Speakers ruling of exiting the floor for an hour, while PPPs senior member Nazim Hussain Shah spoke about 'proxy attendance twice despite a clear instruction of the Chair that the chapter is closed for further discussion. Mastikhel exchanged harsh words with Forward Bloc member Sheikh Alla-ud-Din, and when Speaker Rana Muhammad Iqbal Khan directed that Mastikhel should leave the floor for an hour, MMAs Ali Haider Noor Khan Niazi and Nazim Hussain Shah stopped him from going out, and warned the Speaker, If Mastikhel will go out, we will boycott the proceedings. Even Mastikhel had the guts to decline Minister Malik Nadeem Kamrans request of leaving the floor. It was Noor Niazi, who brought up attendance issue to the fore for the third consecutive day, and opined that members would feel humiliated if the register would be kept in front of all. This was rebutted by Sheikh Alla when he talked about the Bio-Matrix, and added that the system would ensure transparent attendance. Mastikhel got angry at this, and levelled allegations against the Sheikh from Kasur, who lost his temper. Stop him, otherwise I will pay him back in the same coin, he requested the Speaker. Seeing soaring tempers, the Speaker ordered Mastikhel to go out for an hour, but he did not, perhaps because of the Nazim-Niazi support. MMAs man maintained that the proxy attendance was condemnable, and must be discouraged, but register should be removed from the floor. PML-Q turncoat Dr Tahir Ali Javed termed placing of register in the House as an 'immoral decision. He was endorsed by Finance Minister Tanveer Ashraf Kaira, who also wanted removal of the register. Minister Law Rana Sanaullah told the House Punjab Chief Minister had allowed fixing the Bio Matrix system. He bitterly criticised 'absent members with 100 per cent attendance. To bring the issue to an end, the Speaker said he would resolve the issue himself alongwith 5-member committee within two days. During the Question-Hour, the Opposition got itself registered further by asserting that Population Minister Neelam Jabbar had been made to come to the House since the issue of proxy attendance had been raised though she was absent for a long time. Later, the House also continued the general discussion on the price hike of essential commodities, but it came to a sudden halt when PML-Qs Samina Khawar Hayat pointed out the quorum. Deputy Speaker Rana Mashhood Ahmad had to adjourn the House till Monday afternoon (3pm) after the House remained inquorate despite 5-minute bell ringing. No Minister is on the floor, while the administrative secretaries concerned are also absent. I have pointed out quorum in protest, she justified herself. At this, the Deputy Speaker asked ministers and officials to ensure their presence.
