ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Outgoing Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq on Wednesday allowed PM-in-waiting Imran Khan to cast his vote without possessing National Assembly card. Paksiatan Peoples' Party leader Abdul Qadir Patel objected that he was not allowed to cast his vote but Imran casted his vote without NA card in speaker’s elections. Imran Khan did not possess the card, thus he requested the speaker to allow him to cast the vote. The speaker granted him permission. Meanwhile, Abdul Qadir Patel said he too did not possess the card but he was not allowed to cast vote, which he said was discrimination against him. The speaker asked Patel that he was unaware of disallowing him to cast the vote. Sadiq said, “you should ask permission from me, and I would have allowed you.
