ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has decided not to avail the official residential flats at Parliament Lodges.
Imran, who earlier in the week took oath as a member of the parliament, was, like all MNAs, allotted a flat in the Parliament Lodges where parliamentarians are provided residence.
Following the footsteps of their party chief, PTI’s other MNAs, who have residencies in Islamabad, have also decided not to avail the flats. The move was confirmed by PTI MNA Shireen Mazari.
According to an official party statement, PTI MNAs will follow a collective policy where all PTI parliamentarians will neither use the allotted flats, nor accept fare allowances for rented residences.
The statement explained that the PTI does not intend to burden the exchequer by getting money in shape of house rents.
