The interior minister had termed the vote verification issue a “drama staged by a single party” during an earlier National Assembly session. Angered at Nisar’s tone, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had announced they would boycott the lower house proceedings until the minister took back his words.
Speaking to the parliament today, Nisar said there should be a valid logic or reasoning behind demands made by the opposition members and accused them of creating an issue out of a non-issue.
Without naming PTI, Nisar said the party had claimed to introduce new trends into politics but has failed to do so.
Talking about the thumbprint verification process, the interior minister said he had offered to form a committee with members from the opposition benches to look into this matter. “We have gone out of our way to facilitate all the concerns raised by the opposition members,” he said, adding that the government’s intentions are good.
He requested the opposition lawmakers to not be stubborn and show flexibility in order to jointly address problems faced by the country.

Better learn parliamentary polite words and sentences! Go to school again!
If opposition think its not appriopriate than Nisar should offer excuse and stop this issue to be bebated in the House. Why he showing childishness unnecessary?
@Jibran: And how what do you expect from him in replying to a troll....Keyborad army of bat :P
What a strange country and parliament. Under any democracy it is right of the Speaker of the House to decide what is parliamentary language and what is not. Upon speaker's decision, either the members using the language would apologize or suspended if the member does not comply with speaker's ruling. What is speaker doing while this Tamasha is going on!!
If "Sharamnak" isn't an abusive word than "Tamasha" is also not unparliamentary.
@Jibran:
Please don't waste your breath--@Naan Siddiqi is prone to flights of fancy when his Prozac wears off!
@Adnan Siddiqi: This wild hypothesis was floated yesterday by Ansar Abbassi. But I won't value it much. His obsessed hatred towards moderates, and association with terrorists and banned organizations, cripples his analytic thinking.
@Adnan Siddiqi: IK and PTI are being used by PPP and Zardari here.
Is this the best excuse you could have come up with for Ch. Nisar's rants?
Asif Zardari has to be God to first plant the seeds of election rigging within PMLN, then instigate PTI to protest, followed by a suggestion to Ch. Nisar to fire chairman NADRA, and upon protest put derogatory words in Ch. Nisar's mind which he would utter in the National Assembly. And finally provoke the entire assembly to boycott the proceedings.
Ignore his words, in fact, they are in learning process.Soon will learn about Parliamentary norms and values---------after 5 years.Similiarly, if Mr. PM is not attending the session that is also not Unparliamentary.
Tamasha is what PML is doing in Pakistan. You have made a tamasha of all of us once before and now for a second time.
IK and PTI are being used by PPP and Zardari here.
All this man fails is a "Parna" or "Saafa" on his left shoulder and a double Paan in his mouth!
O Fraudee Nisar... Stop this drama.
Reminds me of a street party explaining the meaning of "sharamnak" as inappropriate. The opposition and government law markers should realize that making a show out the thin air wont serve their purpose. They have been entrusted by the people of Pakistan to raise their issues and solve them, not making a show out of the parliament.
^ and by taking stay orders from LHC!
How can Tamasha be non Parliamentary? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thats what is happening at the Parliament all the time.
"we have gone all the way to facilitate the concerns of Opposition"
Yes you did.............by sacking NADRA chief in midst of darkness to hide your bad deeds
