Secretary NA, on the other hand, has sent out a notice that the resignations have been accepted.

On April 11, Qasim Suri issued an order stating that he has received resignations from 125 PTI MNAs. Only Prince Muhammad Nawaz Allai, NA-12 and Jawwad Hussain, NA-47’s resignations, which he found to be genuine and freely resigned, were the exceptions.

Because to the National Assembly’s 2007 rules, “I accept these 123 resignations,” he said. “I thus order the notification of the same in the Gazette.”
