LAHORE, July 23(ABC): PML-Q leader Pervez Elahi, who was PTI’s candidate for the chief minister’s slot, Friday castigated Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari for giving a contentious ruling on the chief minister Punjab election, saying Article 6 applies to him for subverting the Constitution.
“Deputy Speaker Dost Mazari has committed contempt of court and violated the Constitution,” said Pervez Elahi while talking to the media outside Supreme Court Lahore Registry where he has gone to file a petition against the ruling.
Pervez Elahi said Dost Mazari once again had called police inside the Punjab assembly building.
“Police were also called in the assembly on April 16 session, however, this time the court had given instructions that police will not enter the building,” he added.
Speaking about the Punjab deputy speaker’s ruling, the PML-Q leader said that they had won the election as the parliamentary party had nominated him for the CM Punjab poll.
