PTI initiates strict action against dissident party members
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday initiated strict action against dissident party members on the directives of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
As many as 22 dissident party members of the ruling party have come forward in the National Assembly and decisive action against these members was considered by the party.
Adviser on Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Babar Awan visited the Central Secretariat of the party and had a special meeting with Member National Assembly Amir Mahmood Kayani.
During the meeting, the strategy of issuing notices to dissident members of the National Assembly was discussed and the draft of notices of reasons was finalized.
Notices are being issued to the dissident members under Article 63-A of the Constitution of Pakistan. Article 63-A of the Constitution of Pakistan strictly prohibits members of the Assembly from crossing the floor. The perpetrator has to wash his hands of his seat in the National Assembly.
The premier has given dissident members the opportunity to clarify their position by noon, April 1. If they do so, they would be pardoned.
“Strict action will be taken against members who do not satisfy the party by the stipulated deadline," PTI added.
