No-trust vote against Imran Khan will follow
Constitution rules: Speaker
Over the no-trust motion against Pakistan PM Imran Khan, National Assembly Speaker
Asad Qaiser said that he would run the assembly’s proceedings in accordance with the
Constitution.
After opposition parties levelled allegations against Pakistan’s
National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser for siding with Prime
Minister Imran Khan over the no-trust motion, Qaiser in his
defence said that he would run the assembly’s proceedings in
accordance with the Constitution. /Taking to Twitter, Qaiser wrote:
“I, as the custodian of the National Assembly of Pakistan, will
fulfil my constitutional obligations and will proceed in accordance
with Article 95 of the Constitution and rule 37 of the Rules of
Procedure and Conduct of Business in the National Assembly,
2007,” reported Geo TV.
In conversation with media in Islamabad, the speaker had said, “I
will follow the law; I am still in consultation with the NA secretariat
about summoning the session and it will be called in line with the
constitution.” Pakistan Opposition leaders on Monday slammed
the National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser for “violating” the
Constitution for delaying in conducting voting on no-confidence
against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
