National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq on Friday declared the Parliament Lodges of 10 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf lawmakers as sub-jail a day after issuing their production orders.
The development comes after the Islamabad High Court declared PTI members of National Assembly’s eight-day physical remand null and void in several cases linked to September 8 rally.
After the custodian of the lower house, Sadiq, granted the approval, the NA Secretariat issued a notification for the declaration of the Parliament Lodges of PTI parliamentarians as sub-jail.
The MNAs whose lodges have been declared sub-jail include senior PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat, Malik Amir Dogar, Zain Qureshi, Naseem Shah, Ahmed Chattha, Sheikh Waqas Akram, Shoaib Shaheen, Syed Shah Ahad Ali Shah, Awais Haider Jhakar, Zubair Khan Wazir and Yousuf Khan.
Earlier in the day, the IHC nullified the eight-day remand of these PTI lawmakers in a case lodged at Sangjani Police Station related to attack on police personnel near Chongi No 26 area during the rally.
