Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) Mansoor Usman Awan has clarified that the Peshawar High Court’s order pertaining to the stay on oath-taking of MNAs on reserved seats applied to eight lawmakers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

As the National Assembly session convened today, Speaker Ayaz Sadiq administered oath to some MNAs on reserved seats — a move that was contested by the PTI.

However, the AGP stated that none of the MNAs sworn in today were from KP.
