ISLAMABAD: Despite the PTI government’s hectic efforts to avoid voting on the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, the historic session of the National Assembly to decide his fate began on Saturday at 10:30am, while the voting began 10 minutes before the clock struck 12 after a lot of drama.Â
NA Speaker Asad Qaiser has agreed to hold voting on the no-confidence motion after the assembly officials informed him that he will face “severe consequences” in case of the violation of the court’s order.
But despite the shortage of time until the clock strikes 12, Asad Qaiser and Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri were summoned to the Prime Minister’s House to hold a meeting with the premier before returning to the NA. Earlier, reported that Qaiser had refused to allow the voting, adding that since he shares a 30-year-long relationship with PM Imran Khan, he cannot betray him.
