ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suspended the membership of 154 legislators, including several cabinet members, after the deadline for submission of the annual statement of assets expired on Monday.
The ECP had on Jan 1 released a list of 394 legislators belonging to the National Assembly and Senate, as well as the four provincial assemblies, asking them to submit their statements of assets by Jan 16.
The list includes the names of Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination Fehmida Mirza, Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry, Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Haider Zaidi and Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.
Mr Zaidi termed the ECP action “a fuss’ in a tweet, claiming that he had paid his taxes on Dec 28 and submitted the statement of assets to the Election Commission on Jan 5.
