Speaker Sibtain Khan has opposed the decision to call a session of the Punjab Assembly on February 22, saying that he believed the Feb 8 elections were controversial.

“The majority of Pakistan is saying the elections are controversial, so don’t make the speaker and chief minister elections controversial [as well],” the PTI leader said while speaking to DawnNewsTV.

Khan further said that he would not have much of a role in the first session as it primarily involved taking the oath from the new members and conducting the elections for the new speaker.

“The elected speaker will then conduct elections for the deputy speaker and chief minister,” he said.
