KARACHI:<\/strong> The English speech of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed independent Sindh Assembly member Shabbir Qureshi became a talking point during the provincial assembly session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qureshi presented a resolution in English to pay tribute to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah<\/strong>, the founder of Pakistan, on the occasion of his death anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His distinctive delivery and what was described as \u201cbroken\u201d or \u201cinformal\u201d English drew attention from members present in the assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Qureshi attempted to read out and present the resolution, Senior Provincial Minister Sharjeel Memon<\/strong> and Sindh Home Minister reportedly struggled to contain their laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident briefly created a lighter atmosphere during the assembly proceedings, as Qureshi continued with his presentation despite the reaction from the treasury benches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resolution was presented as part of proceedings commemorating the services and legacy of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Members of the provincial assembly used the occasion to remember Pakistan\u2019s founder and acknowledge his contribution to the creation of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qureshi\u2019s presentation, however, became the most noticeable moment of the proceedings after his English pronunciation and delivery attracted attention inside the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The episode quickly became a subject of discussion, particularly because proceedings of the Sindh Assembly are frequently followed by political observers and clips from notable moments often circulate widely on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the light-hearted reaction in the chamber, the resolution itself focused on paying tribute to Quaid-e-Azam and recognizing his historic role in Pakistan\u2019s independence movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also demonstrated how even routine parliamentary proceedings can generate public interest when an unusual or humorous moment occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shabbir Qureshi is a PTI-supported independent member of the Sindh Assembly. His attempt to present the resolution in English, rather than Urdu or Sindhi, attracted particular attention because of his distinctive style of delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reaction from Sharjeel Memon and other members added to the humorous nature of the moment, although the proceedings subsequently continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such moments are not uncommon in parliamentary sessions, where speeches and statements can sometimes become the focus of attention beyond the substantive issues being discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resolution concerning Quaid-e-Azam was part of the assembly’s broader proceedings marking his death anniversary and remembering his political leadership and contribution to the establishment of Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
