NA Speaker Asad Qaiser violates Constitution, alleges Bilawal Bhutto

Islamabad: Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser is violating the Constitution as he has not called the NA session as per law.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Bilawal said that the captain who knows that he is going to win never runs away from the game. He also said that PM Khan is running away from the no-confidence motion as he already knew about his defeat from the outset.

He asserted that Prime Minister Imran Khan was avoiding and running away from the no-confidence motion. He said that they would allow the prime minister to play with the future of Pakistan. He added that the government is considering itself above the law, adding that the prime minister was giving the impression that he was acting upon the law.

Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that Sindh House was attacked at the behest of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan. He said that the last days of the Imran Khan-led government has started. He said he will expose the propaganda of Prime Minister Imran Khan against the members at Sindh House. “This person is responsible for anarchy at the parliament lodges and attack on Sindh House,” he added.

“The speaker of the National Assembly did not hold the session 14 days after the requisition was passed,” said the chairman, adding that the Constitution of Pakistan says the NA speaker should hold a session after 14 days.

“According to the rules, the voting on the no-confidence motion should take place after seven days of its submission just like it was done during Shaheed Benazir Bhutto's time,” said Bilawal.

The chairman said the prime minister is running away from the motion but “we will not allow him to play with the future of our country.” He further said the PM, saying that he has "violated the Constitution of Pakistan", and that the NA speaker failed to follow the rules.
