The Senator of PTI, Aon Abbas Bappi, was produced before the Senate on Saturday, while his fellow legislator Ejaz Chaudhry could not present himself, despite the president of the Senate Yousuf Raza Gilani issuing his production orders yesterday.
The president of the Senate had issued production orders for the senators of PTI BAPPI and Chaudhry, instructing the authorities to guarantee their presence in the session of today’s Senate.
At the beginning of his speech, Senator Bappi thanked Gilani for his “position position”, and pointed out that the president of the Senate had said he did not preside over the procedures if both Senators of PTI did not occur before the Chamber of the Chamber today.
Bappi also appreciated the Minister of Law Azam Nazeer tantar for his “position”, saying “some of the difficulties and oppression” against him began to relax after that.
During Thursday’s Senate session, PTI legislators had registered a strong protest when the opposition leader, Syed Shibli Faraz, raised the issue of Bappi arrest of their fine residence and alleged abuse.
Subsequently, the Law Minister informed the upper house of Parliament that PTI’s senator had been arrested by the Bahawalpur police in a case recorded by the Punjab Wildlife Department of Punjab for illegally hunting from Chinkara deer in Cholistan.
As Senator Faraz said that the police had resorted to vandalism during the arrest and did not show a court order, the law minister said he had the same concerns about the arrest, but said that the action was taken according to the law.
Senator Bappi then detailed the events of March 6, when he was arrested.
He recalled that a Senate session had been summoned for Thursday, but had other commitments planned before. Therefore, he had requested that Agenda No.14 must present to be postponed the next day.
“Maybe if I had attended the session, this incident (arrest) would not have taken place and would be sitting here […] But it happened that he was at home that day, ”recalled PTI’s senator.
Bappi said around 20 people arrived home around 8:30 am on March 6. “First they broke my main door, then tied to all my domestic workers in one place,” he said.
Without appointing any agency to apply the law, the PTI senator said that a “joint operation” was carried out as his factory was also raided. He added that he was sleeping in his room with his wife when “they hit the door so hard that the lock broke and simply entered.”
Bappi said that their mobile phones were sought, but since he did not remember where he had kept them, the individuals had threatened to imprison their 16 -year -old son together with him if the devices were not delivered. However, his son was allowed to go once a domestic worker gave his mobile phones, he added.
Detailing his subsequent appearance in the Court, Bappi said he was later sent to a one -day preventive detention. Comparing the case against him with the elders filed against Fawad Chaudhry and Shehryar Afridi, he described the “FIR respectable” hunting charges.
PTI’s senator continued to say that his “guilt” was carrying out a campaign against inflation in southern Punjab, “staying loyal to [PTI Founder] Imran Khan ”, and raising his voice for imprisoned PTI leaders.
“These are my failures for which I have faced a punishment for two days and I could also face it in the future.”
In a ruling issued today, Gilani said that there had been no intimacy of the case against BAppi, as provided in rule 79 of the rules of procedure and behavior of business in the 2012 Senate, which reflected a “clear violation of the established parliamentary procedures and ignoring the institutional protocol.”
The production orders of Senator Chaudhry are not implemented
On the other hand, President Gilani expressed his disgust by Senator Chaudhry that was not produced before the Senate, as ordered by him a day ago.
Yesterday’s production order issued for Chaudhry, imprisoned in the Kot Lakhpat de Lahore prison, was the third. Neither of the two previous orders could be implemented.
In January, Gilani issued a production order for the PTI senator, which has been imprisoned for about 20 months, so that he could attend the Senate session on January 14. However, Chaudhry did not appear in the Senate session, where opposition legislators had posters with images of the missing senator.
