ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) has announced that the party’s legislators will return the salaries of the period they had boycotted the National Assembly sessions, reportedly.
While addressing the media in Islamabad on Thursday, PTI Chairman Imran Khan stated that the salaries would be deposited back with the government during the 126-day long sit-in in Islamabad.
The PTI had announced boycotting all assembly proceedings in August 2014 after launching its sit-in campaign in Islamabad against the government over alleged rigging in the May 2013 general elections. A week later, the lawmakers submitted their resignations, which were not accepted.
After a seven-month absence, the party returned to the National Assembly fold in April this year after the government accepted its demand for setting up a judicial commission to probe rigging claims.
