LAHORE: The Punjab Assembly lawmakers belonging to the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) have been asked to stay in Lahore as their party believes that their presence may be needed for the huddle possibly being convened next week.
The direction came from the party’s Punjab President Rana Sanaullah Khan who chaired a meeting with the MPAs in Lahore on Wednesday.
The meeting discussed in detail the possibility that the Punjab chief minister, Chaudhry Parvez Elahi may try to take a vote of confidence during the assembly session called on January 9. The meeting also discussed the present numbers game.
During the meeting, the majority of MPAs expressed their concerns over the economic situation, rising inflation and unemployment, sources said. The MPAs said that they could not travel to their constituencies because people would ask them about high electricity rates, petrol prices and an unstoppable increase in the prices of essential commodities.
Sanaullah assured the members that they would address their concerns as soon as possible.
