Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday termed frequent opposition walkouts in the National Assembly "mere tactics to seek a National Reconciliation Ordinance" reported a private TV channel. In a tweet, earlier this morning, PM Khan stated, "In a Parliament that costs taxpayers billions yearly, yet another walkout in NA by the Opposition shows that this is the only function they intend to perform. These are pressure tactics to seek an NRO and evade accountability for corruption in NAB cases not initiated by PTI."

Opposition members mainly belonging to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) staged a walkout from the National Assembly on Monday after opposition leader Shahbaz Sharif finished his speech pertaining to Mohmand Dam bidding contract.
