PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairperson Imran Khan is likely to issue show-cause notices to five provincial assembly members for protesting against the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government.

Insiders familiar with the matter told The Express Tribune on Saturday PTI’s provincial leadership sent a report against five PTI members, who walked out and protested in the provincial assembly during the budget session on June 14.

The five members included Shakeel Ahmad of Malakand, Yassen Khalil of Peshawar, Jamshed Khan Mohmand of Mardan and Abdul Karim Khan of Swabi.

Speaking to The Express Tribune, a PTI worker said the members had raised a voice for the rights of people and party.

“There was a clear degree of discrimination,” he said. “Some members were allotted a number of development schemes in their constituency while others were deprived of their rights.”

He said they promised voters during the election they would facilitate them and would initiate development work in their respective areas. He added if Imran issued show-cause notice to them, PTI members would clarify their position and would inform him about their grievances.

Adnan Siddiqi | 7 years ago | Reply @Ranjha: I see that you have been gone away for a long time but still haven't grown up an inch. Any how, talking about "Explaining Position." These people have already explained their position, via media, to CM KPK and to Hazrat Allama Niazi in his Royal Banigala Court. What else is there to explain, is Niazi so daft?
