Talking to reporters informally, Sibtain Khan said the Punjab Assembly was already in session, hence a new session couldn’t be summoned. He further said that the current session was summoned by the Speaker, and the same could either be adjourned, or resumed tomorrow subject to the availability of business, if any.
