No-trust motion against AJK PM fails
There were only 17 MPs in the house as no-trust against PM failed.
Muzaffarabad ( Dunya News) - According to the details the no-trust against the AJK Prime Minister Chaudhry Abdul Majid didn’t work as only 17 member parliament turned up.
When the proceedings of the house began, the speaker started with the absence of thirty members as only 17 were present at the time.
All the members present voted against the move. It may be pertinent to mention that once the no-trust fails, the next no-trust cannot be brought for the six months.
Earlier, the no-confidence motion – moved against Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Chaudhry Abdul Majid was taken back on Friday.
The move came after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif asked Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz’s (PML-N) members to stay impartial on the issue.
Two members of the Azad Kashmir Legislative Assembly (MLAs) from the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had submitted the no-trust motion against him on July 22 in a surprise attempt to bring an in-house change in the assembly.
“Prime Minister Chaudhry Abdul Majid [has] failed to deliver [on his promise of] good governance, implement merit and root out corruption in government departments,” alleged the MLAs, Majid Khan and Muhammad Hussain Sargala, in the charge-sheet they submitted to the assembly’s secretary, Chaudhry Basharat.
This was the fourth time a no-confidence motion was moved against a sitting AJK prime minister. Three earlier motions were successfully passed and the premiers were sent home packing.
