No-trust move against PM Imran dismissed, NA speaker terms it ‘unconstitutional’

Islamabad (Staff Report/Agencies): National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri on Sunday dismissed the no-trust move against Prime Minister Imran Khan, terming it ‘unconstitutional’.

The session started with the recitation of the Holy Quran. Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri chaired the session.

Suri said the resolution could not be voted upon as it was allegedly supported by a foreign power. He also adjourned the session indefinitely.

As the session started, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry termed the no-confidence motion a foreign conspiracy to change the regime in Pakistan.

On Thursday, PM Imran addressed the nation days ahead of voting on a no-confidence motion against him in the National Assembly that will decide his fate.

In his televised address to the nation, the premier said it will be decided on Sunday whether the nation will pursue an independent foreign policy or tow the policy of slavery.

PM Imran said that he will not resign and fight till the last ball so that people, who do not want independent policy in Pakistan can be exposed before the entire nation.
