Like a shadow government, the opposition link on Sunday continued to occupy the National Assembly link hall and held voting on its erstwhile dismissed no-confidence motion by the assembly chair through his ruling which the opposition link claimed unconstitutional.
In this symbolic exercise of the assembly proceedings, former NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq presided over the assembly session. All opposition link were present in the house. Though the house was officially prorogued by Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri and all lights and mics were turned off.
However, the Opposition link MPs baffled by the government move stayed put and continued with their ‘aborted’ voting on the no-confidence motion.
Opposition link leader Shehbaz Sharif laid the no-trust motion before the house. Then the voting was held and 197 MNAs cast their votes in favour of the move.
On this occasion, Shehbaz said that an action under Article 6 would be taken against the Speaker.
The symbolic house proceedings decided to hold voting on no-trust motion against Speaker Asad Qaiser on April 6 so the assembly was adjourned till April 6.
