As the 43 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers make an attempt to return to the National Assembly, Speaker Raja Pervez Ashraf said on Thursday that he is yet to receive the Lahore High Court (LHC) order that suspended Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) notification regarding the MNAs resignations.
“After receiving the verdict, it would be thoroughly read and then the decision regarding the entry of the members would be taken,” the speaker said in a video statement issued today.
Meanwhile, sources in the National Assembly said the secretariat was consulting its legal team on the order.
The LHC, a day earlier, had suspended the ECP order that de-notified 43 PTI MNAs after their resignations were sent to the electoral body by Speaker Ashraf.
