Opp to bring no-trust motion against Speaker

Staff Report

ISLAMABAD: Opposition parties Wednesday decided to bring a no-confidence motion against the Speaker of National Assembly Asad Qaiser after a rumpus in the lower house of the Parliament on Tuesday. According to details, a consensus on bringing the no-confidence motion was made during a meeting of joint opposition leaders, who met in Islamabad to express solidarity with Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif, whose speech was disrupted during the assembly session.
It was decided to form a committee tasked with making consensus on the matter within the opposition as names for its members are currently being mulled over.
The opposition leadership termed the rumpus in the assembly as a black day in the history of democracy. “The speaker failed to perform his responsibilities as he is the guardian of the house and every member in it,” they said adding that it has been proved that Asad Qaiser is not capable of performing his duties.
