Peshawar, Feb 23 (IANS) 20 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including two former ministers who were recently expelled from the cabinet, missed the meeting called by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Minister Shaukat Yousafzai played down any significance of the absentee lawmakers, saying that those lawmakers had already informed the Prime Minister as well as Chief Minister Mehmood Khan about their prior engagements, the Express Tribune reported.
During a visit to the provincial capital, Imran chaired a meeting of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinet and PTI members of the provincial assembly at the Governor's House. The meeting took place against the backdrop of the PTI's loss in the recent by-polls in Nowshera.
