ISLAMABAD: National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser on Thursday accepted the plea of two Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) legislators that their resignations received by the assembly secretariat were “fake”.
Through a ruling, the speaker declared that MNAs Murtaza Javed Abbasi from Abbottabad and Mohammad Sajjad from Mansehra “have disowned their resignations received by the National Assembly Secretariat on Dec 14, 2020, and also called the resignations fake, thus no further action is required on them”.
The ruling from the speaker came a day after Mr Abbasi and Mr Sajjad personally appeared before him after receiving letters from the NA Secretariat asking them to do so for “verification of their resignations”.
