Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Thursday wrote a letter to the National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervez Ashraf to agree upon a time in the coming week for the verification of the resignations of the party members.
Earlier in the day, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry had announced that a letter requesting time from the NA speaker was being drafted.
The PTI leader took to his official Twitter handle maintaining that the letter is being written so that new elections can be held on the vacated seats.
A day earlier, in a video address, PTI Chief Imran Khan had announced
that all PTI National Assembly members — whose resignations have not been accepted — will ask the speaker inside the assembly to accept their resignations.
Fawad also advised judges of the Supreme Court (SC) to first go through the verification process of every news that is reported in the media before making a statement on them.
The PTI leader was referring to a statement made in the SC during a hearing of a case yesterday, wherein the judge had said that party lawmakers who had resigned are still receiving salaries despite being absent from the National Assembly.
