ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Friday moved Parliament on the election of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders, Senator-elect Muhammad Ishaq Dar and MNA-elect Kulsoom Nawaz.
PTI Information Secretary Fawad Chaudhry, in a letter to the Senate chairman and NA Speaker, respectively, contended that their (Dar and Kulsoom) failure to take oath of the office despite being elected was like depriving masses of their democratic rights.
Dar was awarded Senate ticket despite facing corruption cases and having been declared absconder by a court, which is a joke with democracy, the letter states. “Dar should either be asked to immediately take oath or be forced to step down,” the PTI leader emphasised.
Raising objections to election of former premier Nawaz Sharif’s ailing spouse, Kulsoom, the letter says that she was awarded a ticket despite being seriously ill and incapable of carrying out political activities.
“Kulsoom Nawaz should be asked to resign in the larger interest of the masses and taking into account democratic pre-requisites. We pray for her complete recovery from the bottom of our hearts,” the party leader said.
