Murtaza Wahab said that for the first time in Pakistan’s history, a speaker of a provincial assembly has been held.

The Sindh chief minister’s adviser said that the PPP would resolve the legal issues through legal ways, and opt political course of action to deal with political issues.

The PPP lawmaker in the National Assembly Nafisa Shah in her tweet also questioned the arrest of the Speaker Sindh Assembly as merely an inquiry was underway against him.

Meanwhile, the Accountability Court Judge in Islamabad Muhammad Bashir granted the NAB a three-day transit remand of Agha Siraj Durrani, and ordered to produce him in the relevant Court in Karachi within three days.
