NA speaker accepts resignations of 35 more PTI MNAs
National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf on Friday accepted the resignations of a further 35 Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) MNAs, just days after accepting 34 resignations of the party’s lawmakers.
The PTI had resigned en masse from the lower house of parliament following the ouster of PTI chief Imran Khan in April last year. Subsequently, the NA speaker had accepted only 11 of the resignations, stating that the remaining lawmakers would be summoned individually for verification.
