The NA Deputy Speaker, Qasim Suri, quits.
A few hours before a vote on a no-confidence motion against him, Qasim Suri has resigned from his job as deputy speaker of the National Assembly.
The NA was supposed to meet today, and they were going to vote on a no-trust motion against the Deputy Speaker.
There had been a no-confidence vote against the National Assembly Deputy Speaker on April 8. Murtaza Javed Abbasi, a member of the PML-N, sent the letter to the secretary of the National Assembly Secretariat.
According to the resolution, the deputy speaker had “repeatedly broken the rules, parliamentary practice, democratic norms and traditions, and even constitutional provisions.” When he was in charge of the House, he didn’t run things in an orderly way to allow for a productive debate on important issues.
The leader of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is Raja Pervaiz Ashraf. If you want to be the National Assembly speaker, you’ll have to take your seat today. Raja Pervaiz Ashraf was the only candidate who put in an application for the job.
During the no-confidence vote against then Prime Minister Imran Khan, PTI member Asad Qaiser resigned, saying he couldn’t vote because it was part of a “foreign conspiracy” against the PTI government. The speaker’s office was left empty. Qaiser then gave the chair to PML-Ayaz N’s Sadiq, who was in charge of the process.
