Former Punjab Assembly speaker Sibtain Khan has cautioned against “haphazardly” convening the provincial assembly session, citing concerns over the controversy surrounding the Feb 8 election results.

Speaking to Geo News, Khan emphasised the inappropriateness of making the Punjab chief minister’s election contentious post-polls.

“I will not endorse the proposed Feb 22 session of the Punjab Assembly until deserving candidates secure their reserved seats,” he insisted.

Khan maintained that the session should not proceed until the Sunni Ittehad Council is allotted its reserved seats.
