ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat on Wednesday opposed the selling of properties abandoned by Bengalis and proposed that these properties be given to the people of erstwhile East Pakistan who chose to retain Pakistani nationality even after the 1971 fiasco.
The properties, now under the control of Abandoned Property Organisation (APO), were left behind by Bengalis who gave up their Pakistani nationality and moved to Bangladesh after its creation.
The committee has already recommended that these abandoned properties should be given to those people who opted to retain Pakistani nationality and abandoned their properties in what was then East Pakistan.

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”.
