ISLAMABAD: After the Supreme Court order on Sunni Ittehad Council’s (SIC) petition regarding reserved seats, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday suspended the lawmakers elected on seats denied to the party.
It is pertinent to note that the ruling alliance in Punjab was dealt a blow as the provincial assembly’s speaker restrained 27 lawmakers on reserved seats, last week, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling suspending the Peshawar High Court’s (PHC) verdict denying the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) reserved seats for women and minorities.
