PTI MNAs Will Have To Appear To Verify Resignations: PAK Speaker
Islamabad, May 11: The Speaker of Pakistan’s National Assembly Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has said the process of verification of PTI MNAs’ resignations has started and letters are being written to them, including Imran Khan, The News reported on Wednesday.
He said these people will have to appear in person before him for verification of their resignations because their resignations have not been written by hand, which is a legal requirement.
He further said that former prime minister Imran Khan is still a member of the National Assembly. He has to personally verify his own resignation. He said letters have been written to all the resigning MNAs for verification of their resignations and the fate of their resignations will be decided only after they appear before him.
Ashraf said that “The law states that the resigning MNAs must write their resignations by hand and that they are not under any pressure”. He said the process of formation of the Parliamentary Committee on Electoral Reforms has been started and names have been sought from all parliamentary parties, including the PTI.
