A Hindu lawmaker in Pakistan has moved the court after he was preven🌃ted from taking oath in the 🗹Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly for his alleged role in the murder of a Sikh legislator in 2016.
Member of the Provincial Assembly-elect Baldev Kumar, who is in jail in the murder case of Sikh lawmaker Sardar Soraꦏn Singh, moved the Peshawar High Court against the Speaker, treasury and opposition members of💦 the provincial assembly for contempt of court.
In his petition, Kumar prayed th✤at Senate elections which are due on March 3 should be s🅺topped until his swearing in ceremony.
The petitioner further claimed that he was delibera𓆉tely maltreated in the Assembly Hall on February 27.
Arbab Jehandad Khan, a🌸 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Member of the Provincial Assembly, thre𓆏w his shoe at Kumar which landed close to him while some other members of Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf threw copies of the assembly agenda towards Kumar.
Singh, a lawmꦇaker from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, was shot dead in April 2016 in Buner district of the province.
Singh was electe💮d to the provincial assembly on a minori🎃ty seat.
His son Ajay on Sunday appealed the provincial government not to bring the "killeඣr" of his father in the provincial assembly for obtaining his vote for Imran Khan's Tehreek-e-Insaf Senate candidate in the upcoming Se♔nate elections due for March 3.
Kumar is the second in the list🦄 of Tehreek-e-Insaf party's candida♌tes for a reserved seat for minorities.
