PM Nawaz, Fazl discuss PTI de-seating issue

ISLAMABAD: The issue of de-seating Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf parliamentarians was discussed when JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman met with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday.

The JUI-F chief apprised the prime minister about discussions held in his party pertaining to this issue. Maulana Fazlur Rehman said the issue should be resolved within the limits of the constitution.

During the meeting Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif advised that the policy of political reconciliation should continue and the resolution to de-seat PTI lawmakers be withdrawn.

The JUI-F and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had prepared resolutions to table in the National Assembly on Tuesday to de-seat the PTI MNAs, but voting on the resolutions was deferred after Finance Minister Ishaq Dar asked NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq to ensure that Parliament does not rush the matter.
