*ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan was caught in a spotlight today in the National Assembly *

*Prime minister in-waiting forgot to bring his computerized nationalidentity card during the NA session for election of the speaker.*

Imran forgot to bring along his CNIC and the card is essential for assemblymembers to cast their vote. However, Speaker Ayaz Sadiq allowed Mr. Khan tocast vote using his prerogative.

The issue was highlighted more when Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leaderAbdul Qadir Patel complained of the “discriminatory behavior” as he hadforgotten his NIC and was made to bring it before being allowed to vote.

In response, Ayaz Sadiq issued a statement, “Imran Khan asked for mypermission to vote. Had you sought my permission, I would have allowed youto vote as well.”

The video of Imran Khan alsowent viral on the social media with most people commending the future PM ofbeing too ‘simplistic’ to even forget to wear a waistcoat while arriving tothe Assembly.
