TOBA TEK SINGH, Jan 30: District naib nazim Sultan Ahmad has said Gojra MNA Amjad Warraich had no right to disrupt the Jan 25 meeting of the council.

Addressing a press conference on Monday, he claimed that 60 members were present in the meeting but some opposition members who did not even sign the attendance register entered the hall along with some non-member and demanded counting of the members to check the quorum.

He said when he told them that they would get the right when they would sign the attendance register, they called MNA Amjad Warraich and his accomplices into the hall who threatened women councillors that they would be kidnapped if they did not leave the hall.

He advised both former district nazim Chaudhry Ashfaq and Mr Warraich to accept the defeat of their candidate for district naib nazim slot and not to adopt undemocratic tactics.

He said only members would be allowed to enter the hall in the next meeting.

Meanwhile, MNA Warraich claimed that his group had majority in the district council and, in its next meeting, it would prove its claim.

Addressing the participants in a dinner hosted by former nazim Ashfaq on Sunday night, he stated that quorum was short in the Jan 25 meeting.

He said his group had already applied for a copy of the minutes of that meeting after which legal action would be taken against the naib nazim.

PML-N leader and former minister Chaudhry Asadur Rehman and MNA Mian Farhan Latif were also present on the occasion.
