PTI legislators to get salaries for boycott period
INPISLAMABAD: The National Assembly secretariat has finalised paperwork for payment of salaries to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers who returned to parliament after a boycott of nearly eight months.
According to sources, the total payment is estimated to be around Rs12.636 million and each member will get Rs469,000.
PTI legislators returned to parliament on Monday after a boycott of nearly eight months as the government accepted Imran Khan’s demand of a judicial commission to probe the alleged rigging in 2013 general election. The party had boycotted the parliament and occupied part of the capital during months-long street protests last year over alleged election rigging.
