LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Atta Tarar on Sunday demanded the formation of a committee against President Dr Arif Alvi for ‘violating’ the constitution and his oath.
Addressing a press conference, Tarar said that the National Assembly session has to be summoned within 21 days of the polls. President Dr Arif Alvi is violating the constitution and his oath by not calling the session.
He alleged that the President House had become a ‘hub of conspiracies’. The PML-N leader demanded that a committee be formed against President Alvi for ‘misusing’ his powers.
Quoting the constitution, he said that if the President does not summon the National Assembly session within twenty-one days of the polls, the speaker can do the same.
Despite receiving a summary from the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, President Alvi has not yet called a meeting of the house.
President Terms National Assembly Incomplete
President Alvi maintained that the NA is still incomplete as a decision on some reserved seats is yet to be announced.
Although political parties have been granted reserved seats by the Election Commission of Pakistan, the Sunni Ittehad Council has not received a reserved quota since independent candidates backed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf joined their ranks.
