NA restores suspended PTI lawmaker

ISLAMABAD:

The National Assembly on Sunday approved a motion to restore the membership of opposition lawmaker Muhammad Iqbal Khan after his suspension was withdrawn.

During the sitting, PTI's Barrister Gohar Khan sought permission to move a related motion, which was subsequently presented before the House and approved.

Earlier, NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq said he had no objection to restoring the suspended membership, stressing that his responsibility was to protect the dignity of the House and the rights of its members.

He, however, advised Iqbal Afridi to avoid bringing guests without proper passes and to ensure that no misbehaviour occurs with staff or members.
