ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday appeared incensed over frequent walkouts by the opposition parties in the National Assembly (NA) and termed their move ‘a tactic to seek an NRO (a term used by the government for opposition seeking relief from corruption cases).

In a tweet this morning, PM Khan wrote: “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 & evade accountability for corruption in NAB cases not initiated by PTI.”
