ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The PTI has demanded action under Article 6 against Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja in light of the Supreme Court's judgement in the reserved seats case. 

This demand was made during a meeting of the joint parliamentary party of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) held on Wednesday. 

The parliamentary party also condemned the mistreatment of the party's deputy chairman, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, during his transfer to Lahore.

Additionally, the statement highlighted that the unlawful arrest of MNA Moazzam Jatoi, following the arrest of MNA Sahibzada Ameer Sultan, is a violation of parliamentary traditions.
