Lawmaker assaults colleague

The DPP caucus was the first to join the PFP caucus yesterday in condemning Lo and demanding that the legislature's Discipline Committee meet immediately to address the incident.

"Violent incidents have occurred again and again because other caucuses never spoke a word when DPP legislators were attacked in the past," said Chou Po-lun (周伯倫), convener of the DPP caucus.

Meanwhile, Legislative Yuan speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平) said he regretted yesterday's incident, adding that the fight was damaging to the legislature's image.

Wang said the legislature, with the approval of lawmakers, will refer the case to the Discipline Committee tomorrow at the earliest.
