Baig calls female senator ‘aunty’
ISLAMABAD: Senator Enver Baig of the Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) caused a storm during Saturday’s Senate session when he referred to Senator Pari Gul Agha of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) as “aunty”.
Mr Baig was criticising the PML, saying it had accepted the leadership of a general, in a speech on the two-offices bill when Ms Agha stood on her seat and said: “Enough is enough. We will not bear more insults.” Mr Baig, visibly irritated, looked to Senate Chairman Mohammadmian Somroo and asked him to “tell the aunty to sit down”.
Upon this, all the women senators stood up on their chairs and started shouting that Mr Baig should apologise to Ms Agha.
Ms Agha said that she would not listen to another word from Mr Baig. She asked the chairman to tell him to sit down. “They do not take the upper house of parliament seriously,” she said. She asked why Mr Baig called her an aunty when he was also an elderly man.
Mr Baig withdrew his words and called Ms Agha his “sister”.
PML-N Senator Sadia Abbasi apologised to women parliamentarians belonging to the treasury on behalf of all the opposition senators on the floor of the house. Earlier, Mr Baig caused a minor uproar when he used the word “lota” (turncoat) in reference to some treasury senators, who felt the word was “unparliamentary”. Mr Baig said that the word was fine because it had been used in the Indian Parliament. He added that it was also used by former Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. mohammad imran
