Explanation

Punjab Assembly made a history when Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) Salman Rafique, currently facing the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) investigation in the Paragon City scam, was brought in the house on its first production order issued by Speaker Chaudhry Pervez Elahi. The production order of Salman, an MPA of PML-N who is under NAB custody these days, was issued by the PA Speaker first time in the history of the assembly after the House amended its Rules of Procedures 79 in its sitting. Previously, Punjab Assembly Speaker, unlike the NASpeaker and the Speakers of other assemblies didn’t have the powers to summon any under-custody MPA. In this way, Khawaja Salman Rafique has become the first MPA of Punjab to receive production order.
