Justice Minister Akın Gürlek clashed with YENİ Party Istanbul MP Turan Taşkın Özer during a parliamentary Plan and Budget Committee session over the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) case, telling Özer that "if you weren't an MP, your house would have been searched." The remark drew backlash, and tensions in the committee were further inflamed by discussion of figures and allegations tied to a fund investigation.
