National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq has taken decisive action by suspending several security personnel after the arrest of PTI lawmakers. The arrests, which have sparked political tension, led to concerns about procedural violations and the role of security staff in facilitating these detentions. Sadiq, emphasizing the importance of maintaining parliamentary integrity, called for a thorough investigation into the matter to ensure that no protocols were breached and that security personnel acted within their defined roles.
The suspension reflects growing frustration within the National Assembly over the perceived targeting of political figures, especially PTI members, during a charged political climate. Sadiq’s move aims to restore confidence in the impartiality and professionalism of the assembly’s security forces. In his remarks, the speaker highlighted the need for maintaining a neutral and secure environment within the parliament, free from political interference.
The incident has intensified debates about the treatment of opposition lawmakers, with PTI leaders accusing the government of using law enforcement as a tool for political suppression. The suspension of the security personnel is seen as a response to these concerns, as the assembly seeks to balance security measures with fairness and respect for democratic processes.
