LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has submitted a no-trust motion against Deputy Speaker Punjab Assembly Dost Muhammad Mazari after he insisted on summoning the Punjab Assembly session on Wednesday.
The PTI MPAs submitted a no-trust move against their party-backed deputy speaker to the secretary of the provincial assembly. Dost Muhammad Mazari has now lost authority to summon a session of the provincial assembly.
Deputy Speaker Punjab Assembly Sardar Dost Muhammad Mazari earlier summoned the Punjab Assembly session today at 7:30 pm to elect the new chief minister of the province.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the Punjab Assembly, speaker Zain Ali Bhatti, shared that the session will be summoned on April 16.
