The condemnation came after NA Speaker Asad Qaiser summoned the session of the lower house to deliberate on the opposition's no-confidence resolution against Prime Minister Imran Khan on March 25 (Friday) at 11am. The PPP chairman said that under the Constitution, the NA speaker is bound to call the session within 14 days. “Article 5 is clear about the violation of the Constitution and Article 6 contains the punishment,” the former information minister said. Clause 2-A says: “An act of high treason mentioned in clause (1) or clause (2) shall not be validated by any court including the Supreme Court and a High Court.] Article 6(3) adds: “Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)] shall by law provide for the punishment of persons found guilty of high treason.”
