\nThe matter came to light following public complaints and social media reports, prompting the speaker to take immediate action.
\n\u201cAccording to reports, the said individual not only misled government officials and police authorities by claiming this fake status and allegedly obtaining undue privileges and protocol, but was also reportedly involved in harassing and pressuring citizens through various means, causing concern and unrest among the public,\u201d the statement said.
\nAbdul Wajid possessed a fake appointment letter from the National Assembly Secretariat bearing the Speaker\u2019s forged signature, and had been illegally obtaining privileges and protocol despite having no connection with the institution.
\nThe Secretariat\u2019s spokesperson declared that the preparation of forged documents bearing a speaker\u2019s signature and impersonating a government official was a \u201cserious and punishable offence\u201d, adding that strict legal action would be taken against such elements without discrimination.
\nThe Secretariat urged the public and all government institutions to verify the authenticity of any appointment letter, offer letter, or official document purportedly issued by the National Assembly Secretariat, and to immediately report any suspicious activity or forged documents to the relevant law enforcement agencies to discourage misuse of state institutions\u2019 names. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
