Balochistan Assembly reposes confidence in CM Raisani

QUETTA: The Balochistan Assembly on Tuesday unanimously adopted a resolution, reposing confidence in Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani, Geo News reported.

Balochistan National Party-Awami Parliamentary Leader and provincial minister Syed Ehsan Shah tabled the resolution.

The chief minister, who has been facing opposition within his own party since the Supreme Court interim ruling in Balochistan law and order case, was also present in the house.

The apex court had observed that the provincial government had lost its constitutional authority.

Acting speaker Matiullah Agha chaired the assembly session. Earlier, Senior Minister Maulana Abdul Wasay tabled a unanimous resolution in the house. The resolution said that worsening law and order situation in the province was a conspiracy of internal and external elements. It said the people were suffering due to the law and order and it was incumbent upon the house to review the situation.

The resolution called for joint line of action and solidarity to improve the situation.

Opposition members, PPP provincial president and minister Mir Sadiq Imrani and Minister for Quality Education Jan Ali Changezi didn’t attend the session.

Speaking in the house Wasay said “ we want continuity of democracy and survival of Constitution, we will fight with those elements that try to stop us from fighting for the rights of people,” he said.

“There is nobody in this house who demands UN or US guarantee for his own country,” the minister noted.
