ISLAMABAD: Fawad Chaudhry, senior vice president of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), on Tuesday said the opposition in Punjab brought the no-confidence motion against the chief minister just to avoid snap elections in the province.
Last night, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) submitted a notice in the Punjab Assembly seeking permission to table a no-confidence motion against Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.
A notice was also moved for the removal of Punjab Assembly Speaker Sibtain Khan.
The notice stated that members of PPP and the PML-N of the provincial assembly expressed their lack of confidence in Pervaiz Elahi’s ability to lead the house as per the constitution, and had lost the confidence of the majority of members of the house.
Following the move by the opposition following Imran Khan’s announcement of dissolving the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies on December 23, Chaudhry tweeted it was only distant past that federal ministers including Rana Sanaullah Khan and Ahsan Iqbal were pushing PTI to dissolve the assemblies first for snap elections in the country.
However, he added that the coalition partners were now turning tail. He vowed that they would not let this happen while asserting that the VoNC would be unsuccessful and Elahi would dissolve the assembly. The people will take the final decision, he said.
