QUETTA: The Balochistan Assembly has passed no-trust motion against its speaker Aslam Bhootani, Dunya News reported on Wednesday.
The session was chaired by deputy speaker Syed Mati-ullah Agha.
The motion was moved on December 19 against the speaker after he had refused to chair any session of the house as the status of the provincial government was not clear following a Supreme Court ruling.
Bhootani said that according to Supreme Court orders, the government was unconstitutional and he could not preside over the session of the assembly.
On Monday, he also threatened to move the court against voting on the no-trust motion against him. He said the Constitution was violated while presenting the no-confidence resolution.
According to statistics, the resolution was passed with simple majoirty. Forty seven members favoured the resolution while a single vote was casted against the motion.
