A sharp verbal confrontation between Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan and PPP Senator Palwasha Khan unfolded during a parliamentary committee session, drawing attention to rising political friction within oversight forums.
The tense exchange occurred during a committee meeting reviewing infrastructure matters, where Senator Palwasha Khan raised objections over a road construction project in Lahore. She questioned whether the publicly funded project was designed to serve citizens at large or to disproportionately benefit a private housing society. Emphasising her role as a legislator, she maintained that seeking clarity on the use of public money was both her right and her responsibility.
The discussion quickly escalated when Minister Aleem Khan rejected the allegations and accused the senator of making misleading claims. The situation deteriorated into a heated verbal clash, with raised voices and repeated interruptions that disrupted proceedings and drew reactions from other committee members present.
