Twenty-five members from the ruling PTI in AJK had filed a no-confidence motion this Tuesday against Abdul Qayyum Niazi


Islamabad: Following the submisison of the no-confidence motion by PTI lawmakers, Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir Abdul Qayyum Niazi has resigned from office.
Niazi after stepping down from the premiership was addressing a press conference.
He questioned why a no-trust motion was initiated against a sitting government, adding that his records in terms of corruption were clean.
"I have resigned from the prime minister's office as my party members filed a no-confidence motion against me," Niazi said, hours after he sacked five ministers of his cabinet.
"I am a democratic person and will always remain with Imran Khan. I took my democratic decision and resigned in a dignified manner," Niazi said, adding that the resignation was first sent to the party chairman and then to the president.
Twenty-five members from the ruling PTI in AJK had filed a no-confidence motion this Tuesday against Niazi, accusing him of failing to implement the party's manifesto and creating a mess.
MLAs of PTI have proposed the name of PTI regional head Sardar Tanveer Ilyas for the PM’s slot.
