The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has requested the National Assembly (NA) Speaker to issue production orders for nine of its Members of National Assembly (MNAs) who were allegedly detained. The request was made in a letter to NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq by Chief Whip Amir Dogar on Tuesday, ahead of the scheduled sessions of the Senate and National Assembly.
