Former speaker NA Ayyaz Sadiq, Rana Sana Ullah, Khawaja Asif, Saad Rafiq, Maryam Aurangzeb, Shazia Marri, Navid Qamar, Shahid Akhtar Ali and others submitted the no trust motion and requisition.
The no confidence motion said PM Imran Khan has lost mandate and confidence of this house and people. Therefore, opposition filed no confidence motion against him.
Maryam Aurangzeb said over 100 MNAs have signed the no confidence motion. It is binding on the NA speaker to summon NA session within 14 days. This motion has been filed under article 95 of the constitution. It will be put to debate in NA. Later voting will be held on this motion.
Opposition leaders have claimed 172 members are needed for approval of this motion and they are having members ranging between 190 to 200. Several members of ruling party are with them. Therefore the motion will succeed. We have filed resolution in connection with this motion. As soon as this resolution is approved Imran Khan will lose his slot and new PM will be elected.
