Lahore (HRNW) The confrontation between Punjab Assembly speaker and deputy speaker took another turn when Speaker Punjab Assembly Parvaiz Elahi issued a notification Wednesday depriving Deputy Speaker Dost Muhammad Mazari of all his powers.
They came face to face over the assembly session to elect a new chief minister.
According to the notification, all powers of the deputy speaker have been taken away effective immediately under the rule of 25.
Earlier in the day, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) submitted a no-confidence motion against the deputy speaker, who ironically is also a PTI MPA, and PML-Q allegedly gathered its workers in Lahore to attack MPAs.
The move angered Deputy Speaker Sardar Dost Muhammad Mazari and he, with around 15 MPAs, is planning to support Hamza Shahbaz Sharif against Pervaiz Elahi.
