Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Nasir Khan Musazai on Friday told the National Assembly (NA) speaker to reject his resignation, ARY News reported.
Another PTI MNA, Nasir Khan Musazai wrote a letter to the NA Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf saying that he never resigned from his NA seat.
“A total of 123 resignations of NA members were typed in PTI’s head office”, Musazai accused in his letter, adding that he has not yet decided to resign from the NA seat.
Earlier in September last year, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had suspended the basic party membership of its MNA Abdul Shakoor Shad after Islamabad High Court (IHC) restored him as a parliamentarian over a plea that he had not submitted his resignation to the National Assembly (NA) speaker.
