PTI issues show-cause notices to 13 dissident MPs

The ruling PTI had issued show-cause notices to 13 dissident lawmakers for allegedly allying with the Opposition a day after the party decided to move against the members ahead of the no-trust motion against the premier.

The dissident lawmakers have been given seven days to present themselves before PM Imran Khan. The members also include MNA Noor.

PTI workers threaten MNA Noor Alam Khan

After 24 PTI leaders decided to take refuge in Sindh House, two people — reportedly belonging to the PTI — threatened Noor for showing reservations against PM Imran Khan ahead of the voting on the no-confidence motion.

In a viral video, the two men can be seen abusing and threatening the PTI’s disgruntled lawmaker at a hotel in Islamabad. Sources privy to the matter said that the two men are the leaders of the PTI’s Canada chapter — who came to Islamabad a few days back to attend the overseas convention.

The two PTI leaders harassed the lawmaker and blamed him for what they termed “acting against Pakistan.”

“Take off your mask so people can see the face of the person who has sold out Pakistan […] I will come to Peshawar and meet you,” one of the two PTI leaders says.

The Court also issued an order to re-vote on 12 polling stations in Chaman’s PB-51 seat.

The court returns the case to the election commission with the candidates’ assent and orders the ECP to rule within 10 days of hearing the candidates.

“Under what rule did the ECP order re-polling in 12 polling stations?” Justice Ameenuddin Khan inquired. “The election commission saw 12 polling stations and ignored others,” Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar stated.

According to Justice Ameenuddin, the election commission did not undertake any inquiries or adhere to any principles.

“Only those polling stations were checked where maximum turnout of votes pointed out in petitions,” claimed the ECP’s DG Law.

Justice Mazhar stated that the ECP should have investigated the entire constituency.

On the request of a rival candidate, Muhammad Asghar Achakzai, the election body ordered re-elections in his constituency.

The case was considered by a three-member bench of the Supreme Court, led by Justice Ameenuddin Khan.

Re-elections were ordered by the Election Commission at polling stations 56, 57, 61, 62, 79, 89, 90, 91, 95, 106, 129, and 130 in the PB-51 constituency.
