ISLAMABAD: The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has initiated strict action against the dissident Members of the National Assembly (MNAs) following the directives of Prime Minister Imran Khan, ARY News reported on Thursday.
Adviser to PM on Parliamentary Affairs Babar Awan held a meeting with the additional secretary general Aamir Mehmood Kiani today and discussed the strategy to issue show-cause notices to PTI turncoats.
A draft of the show-cause notices was finalised by Babar Awan and Aamir Mehmood Kiani under Article 63 (A) which bars MNAs from crossing the assembly floor. The said article of the Constitution will also pave way for the termination of the MNA from the seat for violating the party policy.
