Bureau report

PESHAWAR: Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) Meraj Humayun Khan, who recently joined the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and was accused of selling her vote in the Senate election, on Friday asked her party Chairman Imran Khan to review his decision.

She demanded a probe as to why unauthenticated list was prepared for voting in the Senate election. Talking to The News here, Meraj Humayun questioned the credibility of the list, which her party had prepared on a piece of paper that didn't carry the signature of a responsible party leader. "Imran Khan should tell the nation when the investigation committee was formed? Who headed it and who were its members?" she asked.

She also questioned whether or not the probe committee had prepared a report mentioning the names of those lawmakers, who were accused of horse-trading in the Senate election. Meraj Humayun asked the PTI chairman to share the recommendations of the investigation committee with them if he had received its report.
