Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari exchanged heated remarks and arguments with accused Falak Javed and her counsel. during the hearing in the district courts of a fake video case.
The minister told the accused to "have some shame" and the latter responded that she would not remain silent when the matter concerned her honour.
The exchange intensified when Falak Javed's counsel Mian Ali Ashfaq.objected to Azma Bukhari's conduct.
At one point, the minister drew the court's attention to the political nature of a remark by the lawyer about 'Form 47'.
Judicial Magistrate Naeem Wattoo directed both sides to remain silent, observing that he alone had the authority to speak loudly in the courtroom.
The court subsequently recorded Azma Bukhari's statement and fixed September 12 for cross-examination on her testimony.
