The parliament’s official photographers have been instructed to only capture images of parliamentarians aligned with the ruling party during sittings, said MP Eva Abdulla.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the opposition lawmaker said that the state is ‘broadcasting’ a lie and that it is an active attempt to hide the discord in parliament.
