The reason National Assembly (NA) Speaker Asad Qaiser did not preside over the assembly’;s session on April 3, during which the opposition’;s no-trust motion was to be voted on, was that he was opposed to the speaker’;s ruling under Article 5 of the Constitution.
According to the channel’;s sources, Asad had even expressed his concerns to the Pakistan Tehreek-i-(PTI) Insaf’;s top leadership.
They also revealed that, despite attempts by Prime Minister Imran Khan’;s legal team to persuade him, he remained adamant and maintained his position.
And the reason he chose not to make his disagreements with the ruling party’;s leadership public was that he believed the matter was still pending and that it would be prudent to refrain from commenting.
