Opposition Member of Parliament Geeta Chandan-Edmond was yesterday helped from the podium during a budget debate presentation and taken to the hospital after her speech appeared slurred and incoherent.
Speaker of the National Assembly Manzoor Nadir told this newspaper last night that Chandan-Edmond was escorted off of the podium by her colleagues after he observed that she was displaying abnormal behaviour.
She smiled and appeared in a jovial mood for the minutes she was at the podium.
