It is pertinent to mention here that all the PTI members, except the dissident ones, had decided to resign from the national assembly ahead of the no-confidence vote.

Later last week, former deputy speaker Qasim Suri accepted all the resignations and announced his own resign from the post. However, the newly appointed speaker Raja Pervaiz had declared all the resignation unacceptable.
