ISLAMABAD: More than twenty (20) members of the National Assembly from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have yet to step down from their positions in standing committees.

As of now, 52 members have submitted their resignations to the Speaker’s office, with five more resignations submitted recently.

According to media reports, several MNAs, including Sohail Sultan, Muhammad Nawaz Khan, Muhammad Atif, Sher Ali Arbab, Osama Ahmed Mela, and Ghulam Muhammad, continue to serve on various committees.

Muhammad Saadullah, Umar Farooq, Muhammad Mehboob Sultan, Khawaja Sheeraz, Ayesha Nazir, Mian Ghaus Muhammad, and Fayyaz Hussain are yet to tender their resignations.

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan had instructed all the PTI National Assembly Members to resign from the standing committees.

However, no official action has been taken by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, on the matter of resignations.

PTI has also announced a boycott of the National Assembly proceedings.

PTI Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram rejected the report, adding that “the list of 25 lawmakers is wrong, as 8 to 10 members are out of the country, some have gone for Umrah, a few are unwell, and there is also information that around eight more tendered resignations today.”
