LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) takes back the no-confidence move against CM Punjab Pervaiz Elahi.

The development came after the denotification of the CM by Governor Punjab. PML-N leader Khalil Tahir Sandhu said, “The no-trust move became ineffective as the governor has denotified the CM.”

It was also made clear that ‘only’ the motion against the chief minister was withdrawn while the ones against the speaker and deputy speaker are still intact.

The PML-N leader said that the party will accept the verdict of the court in regard to the denotification adding that the Governor can summon a session of the Assembly whenever he wishes.

On the other hand, the Lahore High Court (LHC) has scheduled the hearing for today on the petition filed by PML-Q against the denotification of CM Punjab Pervaiz Elahi by Governor Punjab.

A five-member bench headed by Justice Abid Aziz Sheikh has been formed by the LHC chief justice to hear the petition against the denotification of the CM and dissolution of the cabinet.
