Senator Faisal Javed announced on Monday that voting on the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan will take place on March 28.
The Senator told the media outlet that the National Assembly session has been requisitioned for March 21. But later, the senator backtracked from the statement and tweeted that the vote on the no-confidence motion, without specifying a date, would take place after March 27.
“The biggest jalsa of Islamabad will take place on March 27 (Sunday). Prime Minister Imran Khan will deliver a historic speech. And the voting on the no-confidence motion will take place after March 27.”
The senator confidently said that the no-trust motion against the premier would fail, while the people’s confidence in the prime minister’s leadership would bolster.
In response, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said the “gang of corrupts” has announced a rally on March 27 as they are sure about “not having” the numbers to defeat the no-trust motion.
“The ones who cannot make sure of having 172 lawmakers cannot gather one million people at D-Chowk you (Imran Khan) do not have the support of 10 people anymore,” she added.
Under the Constitution, National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser is bound to convene the assembly session within 14 days after submission of the requisition notice, which means he will have to call the sitting by March 22. Voting on the no-confidence motion must take place between three and seven days after the session is summoned.
