Speaker rejects plea to disqualify Shujaat
National Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain on Monday rejected the Pakistan Peopleâs Party Parliamentariansâ (PPPP) objection, seeking to obstruct the disqualification of Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain in the contest for the prime ministerâs slot because he had defaulted on bank loans. The PPPP announced that it would file references against Mr Hussain with the National Accountability Bureau and the superior courts. Addressing a press conference on Monday evening at the partyâs central secretariat, PPPP leaders told journalists that they had visited the speaker but he rejected their objection without listening to them.
