Pakistan: PTI issues show-cause notice to 14 dissident lawmakers
Islamabad: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday has issued show-cause notices to 14 of its lawmakers on grounds of alleged defection and asked to submit an unconditional apology and rejoin the party ranks within 7 days, local media reported.
The Members of National Assembly (MNA) who have been served the notices include Raja Riaz, Dr. Muhammad Afzal Khan, Nawab Sher, Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon, Ahmed Hussain Deharr, Abdul Ghafar Wattoo and Noor Alam Khan, reports The Nation.
The lawmakers have been asked to submit an unconditional apology and rejoin the party ranks within 7 days otherwise legal action will be launched against them.
The move came as several dissident lawmakers of the ruling party recently came out in the open ahead of voting on a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, with the government accusing opposition parties of horse-trading.
The opposition parties had sought the ouster of PM Imran Khan on March 8, accusing him of "mismanaging the economy and poor governance".
