No confidence movement against CM KP withdrawn
The movement was withdrawn after opposition consultation.
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) opposition on Wednesday withdrew no confidence movement against Chief Minister KP Pervaiz Khattak after the provincial government succeeded to convince them, Dunya News reported.
A session of parliamentary parties took place at KP assembly in which the leader of the opposition withdrew the no confidence resolution after consultation with the opposition parties.
The Speaker KP Assembly Asad Qaisar was also present during the session when the opposition withdrew the movement.
It merits mentioning here that the movement of no confidence against Khattak was earlier deferred after permission of political contact was not granted by the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam Fazal (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman asked why Khattak’s participation in ‘civil disobedience’ movement doesn’t constitute sedition.
The opposition parties of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province were also disputed on the matter of withdrawing the no confidence movement against the Chief Minister.
Addressing press conference after meeting Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Fazlur Rehman said that the decision to defer the movement was taken after mutual consultation.
He said no such thing as the KP government exists in the province.
Prior to that, Fazlur Rehman sought Prime Minister’s permission to enhance political contacts in order to move no confidence movement against the Khattak but PM Nawaz stopped him from moving forward.
PM stated that there are several political fronts open at the moment and no new issues should be created.
Nawaz Sharif said the government will respect each party’s mandate wherever it is.
