LAHORE: Minister for Interior Sheikh Rasheed has said that speaker of assembly has the power to disqualify members.

Talking to media on Thursday, he said that no one can challenge the powers of speaker assembly. “The week from March 23 to March 30 is important. The politics of 'Changa Manga' has been overed,” he added.

The minister said that no-confidence motion has failed. “It is thankful that opposition itself is saying that umpire is neutral. Opposition should stay on its statement after losing. It should not open the account of third umpire” he maintained.

He said that he is with Prime Minister Imran Khan like his shadow. “Opposition will bring 172 members. Not any MNA of government will go to Assembly. If any PTI MNA did violation of mandate then speaker has the right to disqualify,” he added.

Sheikh Rasheed said that no-confidence motion will be proven as reason of satisfaction for Prime Minister Imran Khan.
