Giving technical details of accepting the resignations, Ayaz Sadiq said the National Assembly Secretariat had received cyclostyle resignations whereas those should be handwritten by every member.
Moreover, he said, every individual should verify their resignation which was not done. He claimed that he had received calls from a number of PTI members who said that they did not want to resign. “The ruling given by me in this regard was upheld by the Islamabad High Court that was not challenged in the Supreme Court,” he argued.
