PTI workers ‘checking vehicle papers’Adjournment motion filed in Senate
ISLAMABAD: The Awami National Party (ANP) has tabled an adjournment motion in the Senate against checking of papers of trucks by members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) during the party’s sit-in against drone attacks.
Many PTI workers have been accused of damaging goods and manhandling truck drivers while checking papers, with police earlier registering cases against 40 PTI workers. On Wednesday, ANP senators Afrasiab Khattak, Zahid Khan and Daud Achakzai filed an adjournment motion in the Senate Secretariat, stating that members of the ruling party in KP are involved in checking papers of vehicles in the name of blocking NATO supply. It is said in motion that such action by PTI members is illegal. It is up to the government and not members of any political party to stop or continue the NATO supply, it said, adding that people of KP are facing “severe difficulties due to illegal acts of PTI members”. It has been demanded that this matter should be discussed on the floor of House. online
