Islamabad, April 9 (UNI) Amid the current political crisis in Pakistan, the ruling party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf submitted a reference against 20 deviant members to National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, as they aim to get the dissident party members unseated, local media reported on Saturday.
As per Geo News, the reference against the members – filed under Article 63(A) – was handed over to the Speaker by PTI chief whip Amir Dogar.
In response to this, estranged PTI member Noor Alam Khan told journalists that when a person is sitting on a position of power, they “neither think of God, nor the people they are ruling”.
NA Speaker Asad Qaiser is yet to allow members to cast their votes on the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, despite the passage of several hours.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had demanded voting on the no-confidence motion and accused the Imran Khan-led government of violating the Supreme Court’s orders and the Constitution.
He charged that speakers have been ousted for setting aside the Supreme Court’s orders regarding voting on the no-confidence motion.
