Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) has withdrawn the no-confidence motion submitted against Parvez Elahi – who has been de-notified as Punjab chief minister by governor Baligh Ur Rehman.

However, the no-confidence motions against the assembly’s speaker and deputy speaker are still in place.

Punjab Governor Muhammad Balighur Rehman finally pulled the trigger on de-notifying Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi in the wee hours of Friday morning for not taking the vote of no confidence from the assembly on his orders.

As per the notification, the provincial cabinet had also been dissolved.

Elahi has approached the Lahore High Court (LHC) where he has challenged the governor’s move.

The hearing on the petition will be conducted today.
