PTI leader Omer Ayub has said that it should be conveyed to his party if its members will be listened to in the National Assembly or if it has become “redundant”.

While speaking on the assembly floor, Ayub said: “Please tell us if we have rights here. We have been elected here after gathering hundreds of thousands of votes so do we have the right to represent our constituencies?”

He said if they did not have the right then it should be told that the assembly is now redundant.
