LAHORE: The Punjab Assembly secretariat did not allow former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to swear in as member of the Punjab Assembly on Monday, citing absence of the speaker and his deputy.
Talking to the media outside the assembly, Nisar announced moving the court against the authority concerned for not letting him take the oath. He said, “I had decided to stay away from politics and today, after three years, I am talking to the media.”
He said: “I won the Punjab Assembly seat with a lead of 34,000 votes, but lost the National Assembly seat. I took a stand and still I am sticking to it, but decided to take oath in the wake of a political development.”
