PM not decided to take vote of confidence: Marriyum

Islamabad: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said that the Prime Minister did not decide to take a vote of confidence.

Taking to Twitter, the minister  said there was no such consultation and there is no need for it.

The Minister said, being a unanimous candidate of the people, the party, and the coalition parties, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif took the vote of the leader of the National Assembly on 11 April last year.

 She said any report in this regard is a fabricated rumor and is not a fact. She urged the media to not run such stories about the Prime Minister without verification.

وزیراعظم نے اعتماد کا ووٹ لینے کا فیصلہ نہیں کیا،ایسی مشاورت ہوئی نہ اس کی ضرورت ہے۔ عوام، پارٹی،اتحادی جماعتوں کے متفقہ امیدوار شہباز شریف 11 اپریل 2022 کو قومی اسمبلی کے قائد ایوان کا ووٹ لے چکے ہیں۔ من گھڑت افواہ حقیقت نہیں۔ میڈیا بغیر تصدیق وزیراعظم سے متعلق خبریں نہ چلائے
