Fawad Ch submits privilege motion against Kh Asif for telling lie in NA

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Ch on Saturday submitted a privilege motion against PML-N leader Khawaja Asif for telling a lie about the health of Nawaz Sharif on the floor of National Assembly. In the motion, Fawad Ch demanded action against Khawaja Asif for misinterpreting the truth on the floor of the House. “Khawaja Muhammad Asif quoted the representatives of the federal government and those of the Government of Punjab, as saying ‘Let Nawaz Sharif die’, which is a vivid misrepresentation of truth and of the decision of the Honourable Islamabad High Court regarding the interim bail of Nawaz Sharif on medical grounds,” the motion stated. It pointed out that the detailed judgement by IHC ‘outrightly negates the statement of Khawaja Asif which he made on the floor of the House and that it is clear breach of the privilege of the entire House’. He requested that the statement made by the PML-N leader should be taken up for discussion and may be sent to the Standing Committee on Rules of Procedures for further action.
