Yusuf allegedly in custody after being called to Chief Minister's camp office. The opposition has been demanding resignation of Chief Minister to facilitate an independent inquiry into the issue.As the House met, the Speaker ruled that normal business of question hour be taken up and he will decide about the adjournment motion afterwards. At this, opposition PDP members stood up and protested against the Speaker's decision resulting in heated exchanges and slogan shouting from both treasury and opposition benches. There was a heated exchange between Speaker and PDP member Moulvi Iftkar Ansari.The Speaker was even seen using un-parliamentary language and the member broke the fan and threw it towards the Speaker.
