ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) president and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Monday said deputy speaker National Assembly Qasim Khan Suri had pushed the country towards the constitutional crisis.
Addressing a press conference, he claimed that the NA deputy speaker at the whim of Prime Minister Imran Khan crossed his constitutional parameters and gave an illegal ruling without consulting the opposition parties.
He said on the basis of this invalid ruling, President Dr Arif Alvi dissolved the National Assembly on the advice of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Maulana Fazl appealed the apex court to declare the NA deputy speaker s ruling ultra vires and allow members of lower house of the parliament to use their legitimate right to vote either in favor or against the no confidence motion and above all the parliamentarian should be given the chance to elect the prime minister of their own choice. –Agencies
