Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to move a no-confidence motion against Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and Speaker Sibtain Khan.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired a consultative meeting of the PML-N. The no-confidence motion was signed by the members and the PML-N leadership has given the green signal to submit a no-confidence motion against the Chief Minister and the Speaker.
No-confidence motion against the chief minister and the speaker is likely to be submitted within 36 hours.
After the final approval of the PML-N top brass, the no-confidence motion will be submitted to the Assembly Secretariat. Prior to this PML-N will hold final consultations on constitutional and legal options to prevent the dissolution of the Punjab Assembly and the course of action regarding the no-confidence motion and the vote of confidence will also be decided.
According to another media report, 106 provincial assembly members of PML-N gathered at the house of Rana Mashhood where they signed the no-confidence motion.
It may be recalled that a few days ago Governor Punjab Baleegh-ur-Rehman had said in a statement that Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi had the power to dissolve the assembly but he also had the right to ask him to take a vote of confidence.
