ISLAMABAD: After confronting Senator Bushra Anjum Butt for inappropriate behavior, a prominent politician and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senator Irfan-ul-Haque Siddiqui resigned from the Senate’s Standing Committee on Federal Education and Professional Training and replaced himself with senator Rahat Jamali.
The parliamentary leader of the PML-N in the Upper House of Parliament, Senator Siddiqui, submitted his resignation from the Senate body after Senator Butt, a member of the ruling party, prevented him from voicing his ideas during yesterday’s session.
Senators Fawzia Arshad and Khalida Ateeb asked Butt to apologize to Siddiqui after the event that tensely ended the session, and she did so right away.

After the senior journalist-turned-politician accepted her apologies, the disagreement was settled.
On Thursday, however, the Senate Secretariat sent a circular stating that Siddiqui and another Senator, Jamali of the PML-N, had switched places on various standing committees.
Prior to Siddiqui taking over, Jamali was carrying out her duties as a member of the Senate’s Standing Committee on National Health Services and Coordination.
