Speaker Ayaz Sadiq summons four MNAs to verify resignations

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Speaker National Assembly, Ayaz Sadiq has summoned four disgruntled members of national assembly on Friday to verify their resignations, who parted ways with the ruling party and resigned from the assembly.

Assembly officials told that the MNAs have been called because it is necessary for the lawmakers to verify their resignations before the speaker or secretary of the National Assembly.

The disgruntled MNAs summoned to the speaker office include Khusro Bakhtiar, Basit Bukhari, Tahir Bashir Cheema and Qasim Noon. They are part of the group that has announced a mass movement to make southern Punjab a separate province.

Earlier on April 9, Bakhtiar said they have started a movement called Junoobi Punjab Suba Mahaaz to create a new province.

Stating that they will create a separate province for southern Punjab, Bakhtiar said, “Poverty rate is higher than 51% in southern Punjab.”

The lawmakers said their alliance will be led by former interim prime minister Balakh Sher Mazari and Sardar Dareshak will be the co-chairperson of the alliance.
