ISLAMABAD: National Assembly (NA) Speaker Asad Qaiser on Thursday barred former prime minister (PM) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif from holding a meeting in committee room No.2 as he was not a member of the assembly.

“PML-N was planning a meeting under Nawaz Sharif in parliament’s committee No.2 but the speaker Qaiser did not allow Nawaz Sharif to do it as he is a non-member”, a source said.

Later, the PML-N held its consultative meeting in the chamber of opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif. Former PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, opposition leader in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shehbaz Sharif, Khurram Dastagir, Rana Afzaal and Tariq Fazal were among the participants.
