The disgruntled Balochistan lawmakers have submitted a no-confidence motion against Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani, a news outlet reported on Monday.
According to the report, the no-confidence motion, signed by 14 lawmakers was submitted to the secretariat of the Balochistan Assembly.
Lawmakers Saeed Hashmi, Jan Jamali, Mir Zahoor Ahmed Buledi, Asad Baloch, Naseebullah Marri and Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran were present in the assembly during the submission of the motion.
The lawmakers, in the motion, said that during the three years of Alyani’s term as the chief minister, there has been unemployment, unrest, and frustration in the province, and the provincial cabinet members had informed the CM about the issues, but he did not pay heed to them.
Moreover, the lawmakers sought the removal of Kamal as the chief minister and called for the election of a new provincial chief.
“Due to Jam Kamal’s lukewarm attitude, there has been gas, water, electricity, and economic crisis in [Balochistan],” the motion said.
The no-confidence motion will be sent by the Balochistan Assembly Secretariat to the provincial governor. If he approves it, a session of the assembly will be convened in 7-10 days to discuss the motion.
Meanwhile, Kamal held a meeting with PTI parliamentary leader in the Balochistan Assembly Sardar Yar Mohammad Rind during which the existing political situation was discussed.
Last week, Kamal had said that he will not step down from his post on the demand of 12 people, adding that some of his “companions” have tried to remove him from the post of the chief minister before too, but he would not let this “void” persist within the party.
“I will continue my struggle and will not resign on the call of 12 people. We are trying that the ministers take their resignations back. If they don’t take their resignations back, we would have to appoint new ministers,” he had said.
