Jailed PTI senators should be attending senate session: Saadia Abbasi
ISLAMABAD: PML-N Senator Saadia Abbasi pointed out in Senate that a bill had been passed that provided for issuing production orders for those members of parliament who are either in jail or facing some ban or difficulty to get to parliament.
She regretted that PTI senators, including Ejaz Chaudhry, Azam Khan Swati, Shaukat Tarin, Shibli Faraz and Faisal Javed, had not been attending sessions of the house for a long time. One PTI senator attended the session the other day after 18 months, she said, referring to Dr Humayun Mohmand.
She said the fellow lawmakers should have submitted an application for their production orders.
The senator deplored the treatment being meted out to former Punjab chief minister and PTI president Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, saying he is released in one case and arrested in another.
She said her party had faced injustices in the past, but this didn’t mean that she should not raise voice for those about which no one was ready to speak.
