PTI’s Qasim Khan Suri retorts to scathing remarks from Deputy Speaker Punjab Assembly, Sardar Dost Muhammad Mazari.
In a bold move, PTI has submitted a no-confidence motion against the Deputy Speaker of the Punjab Assembly. Important to note, that Dost Muhammad Mazari is a PTI-backed deputy speaker to the secretary of the provincial assembly.
According to details, the resolution against Mazari contained the signatures of PTI’s provincial assembly members. They submitted it based on distrust against him.
The move comes after Deputy Speaker Dost Muhammad Mazari decided to summon a session today, instead of April 16. While speaking to the media, Dost Mazari said that the secretariat staff of the Punjab Assembly was not “cooperating” with him.
Moreover, as per media reports, he said that the advocate-general of Punjab had stated before the Supreme Court that the session will be held today.
“I did not consult the Punjab government, PTI, or the speaker. I summoned the Assembly session in light of the Supreme Court’s orders,” said Mazari.
