KARACHI:
Human Rights Commission South Asia’s Syed Iqbal Kazmi has filed an application in the Supreme Court, Karachi registry, seeking the disqualification of some Sindh Assembly members for passing a resolution against the Supreme Court’s judgment.
The apex court had declared unconstitutional the appointment of Deedar Hussain Shah as the chairman of the National Accountability Bureau.

The respondents include the Government of Sindh, the Sindh Assembly secretary, Senior Education Minister Pir Mazharul Haq, MPA Sharjeel Memon who reportedly initiated and moved the resolution, the Pakistan Peoples Party, Sindh secretary-general Taj Haider and Pemra.
