Overview
- The National Assembly speaker formally issued production orders naming Sanaullah Khan Masti Khel and Dawar Khan Kundi to be produced before the sergeant-at-arms at the start of each sitting and sent back to custody after each sitting.
- The orders were issued under Rule 108 of the National Assembly rules to address a PTI request that had sought production for multiple detained members.
- The National Assembly Secretariat circulated the orders to senior federal and Punjab officials, Islamabad police and the sergeant-at-arms to coordinate transport and custody arrangements.
- The two lawmakers are reported to be in Punjab police custody, and the orders create a legal mechanism to let them exercise parliamentary rights while remaining under arrest.
- The step follows the federal government’s recent imposition of emergency and governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and could shape how parliament handles detained members and disputes between the federal state and PTI authorities.
