The MPAs were meant to submit their declaration of assets to the ECP
LAHORE:
Of a total of 83 members of the Punjab Assembly who had been suspended for failing to declare their assets, the memberships of 26 have been reinstated.
Members are meant to submit a declaration of assets to the Election Commission of Pakistan -- an annual practice.
