ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has demanded the issuance of production orders of two detained Members of National Assembly Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir so that they can represent their people in budget session and give vote on the finance bill.
Speaking here in National Assembly on Wednesday, he demanded the Deputy Speaker National Assembly to issue production orders of two detained Members.
