The speaker, who is also the ruling party’s candidate for the slot of CM Punjab, conducted the proceedings secretly against the senior leaders of the PML-N, said the sources in the PA Secretariat. They said that the decision about suspension of the ten leaders of the PML-N was made on the recommendation of a committee which was investigating the matter.
An official picture of the damaged assembly furniture was also issued a few days back by the office of Punjab Assembly speaker. Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf have alleged that the MPAs of PML-N were involved in damaging the assembly property during the last proceeding of the house.
