Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Muhammad Ahsan Bhoon has said that the no-trust motion filed by the opposition parties against Prime Minister Imran Khan is in accordance with the Constitution.
In a statement on Thursday, the SCBA said that it is “closely monitoring the rather fragile political situation of the country, and is of the opinion that the resolution submitted by the opposition is constitutional and in accordance with Article 95.
It further said that the no-trust motion contains no “ultra vires” to the Constitution and has been conducted under proper authority.
Bhoon emphasised the need to call the session of the National Assembly urgently within seven days, the time frame, as provided in Article 95 of the Constitution, the statement read.
Earlier on Tuesday, a delegation of senior opposition lawmakers, including Rana Sanaullah, Ayaz Sadiq, Shazia Marri and Marriyum Aurangzeb, had submitted the no-trust motion against PM Imran Khan with the National Assembly Secretariat.
The opposition had submitted two sets of documents, one under Article 54 of the Constitution to requisition the National Assembly because it was not in session, and the other a resolution calling for a no-confidence vote against the prime minister.
