The government has taken strict action against PML-N MNA Adil Bazai following his absence from a crucial National Assembly session that passed the 26th Constitutional Amendment.
On Monday, the National Assembly Speaker sent a letter to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), demanding Bazai's disqualification and the declaration of his seat as vacant.
PML-N President Nawaz Sharif had filed a reference against Bazai for missing the vote.
The ECP has summoned Bazai to appear in person or through counsel on October 23, with a decision expected within 30 days.
