The Punjab government has decided to stop more punitive actions against suspended members of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) of the Provincial Provincial (MPA) in the midst of ongoing negotiations.
The opposition legislators were suspended by the president of the Punjab Assembly, Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan, after chaotic scenes in the Chamber on June 27, when members of both sides of the hall dedicated themselves to a physical altercation during the discourse of Prime Minister Maryam Nawaz.
In an effort to resolve the confrontation, the president had constituted a negotiation committee of eight members that include members of both the treasure and the opposition.
The committee held two rounds of conversations, the last ones on Sunday night. While there was no formal advance in these meetings, government sources indicated on Tuesday that some progress had been made, which caused the decision to unwind.

According to Express News, the speaker has ordered the Secretariat of the Assembly and the members of the Government to suspend any additional action against the opposition until the conversations generate conclusive results.
The Secretary of the Assembly had initially planned additional measures against 19 MPA of suspended opposition, including fines imposed on 10 of them for alleged vandalism in the Chamber. These fines, along with the second notices and salary deductions, have now stopped.
The sources said that the suspended legislators had been collectively fined in more than RS20 million and previously received a one -week deadline to pay or face a stricter action. However, these application measures have now been held awaiting the result of the current dialogue.
In addition, the Government has also suspended plans to present non -confidence motions against nine more presidents of the opposition of permanent committees. Previously, four of these presidents had already been eliminated through similar movements.
According to government sources, a total of 13 opposition legislators were scheduled to be eliminated from their committee posts as part of the disciplinary response to the events of June 27. That plan has also been suspended in the light of negotiations.
