"Siq saab, you were given respect and involved in some high-level issues and you are talking about it in assembly. You are lying so easily that Qureshi's legs were shivering. We have hit India in its own territory. success in Pulwama, it is success of this community under Imran Khan government. You and I are all a proud part of it. way we attacked India after Pulwama in ir own territory," said Chaudhury, while members thumped ir hands on ir desks.
