PTI issues show-cause notice to disgruntled MNA Noor Alam Khan

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday issued a show-cause notice to Member National Assembly (MNA) Noor Alam Khan for censuring the party and its leadership in the National Assembly (NA) session last week.

PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) President Pervez Khattak issued the notice to the lawmaker and directed him to submit his response by January 24.

The notice comes with a warning of action against Alam if he fails to submit a response within the stipulated time.

Last week in the NA session, the MNA had criticised the incumbent government for ignoring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
