The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) members of the standing committees of Punjab Assembly on Thursday submitted their resignations to the Speaker.
These committees of the house have now lost their political repute and running the standing committees with 'one-wheeling' could cause a mishap, the PML-N assembly members warned.
According to reports, the party decided to tender resignations from committees to protest against denying Opposition Leader Hamza Shahbaz's appointment as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman as well as the non-issuance of production orders of PML-N leaders including Khawaja Saad Rafique.
About 100 PML-N members of the provincial assembly submitted their resignations from the standing committees at the secretariat of the provincial legislature.
PML-N lawmakers Malik Nadeem Kamran, Chaudhry Iqbal Gujjar and others submitted the resignations on behalf of the fellow PML-N members at the Punjab Assembly secretariat.
They called today as the black day in history of Punjab parliamentary politics when members have resigned from the standing committees in such a large number.
Peoples Party's parliamentary leader Hassan Murtaza has assured us support after consultation with the party's leadership," PML-N members said.
