PML-N leader Khawaja Asif has declared that all the opposition parties have unanimously decided to table a no-confidence motion against the deputy speaker.

"The Supreme Court has given a stay order and we respect its decision. However, we will now exercise the remedy that has been provided to us."

The decision comes in the backdrop of a marathon National Assembly session in which 11 bills were passed despite vehement protest by the opposition. The session had been presided over by the deputy speaker.

Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri's election to the National Assembly was declared void by the Balochistan High Court's election tribunal on September 27. The tribunal ordered a re-election in the NA-265 (Quetta II) constituency. Suri remains eligible to contest the election.

The NA-265 result had been challenged by Nawabzada Lashkari Raisani, who had filed a petition against alleged rigging in the constituency.

The Supreme Court, on October 7, had suspended the decision of the election tribunal that nullified Qasim Suri's election as well as the Election Commission of Pakistan's (ECP) decision to de-notify him as a member of the National Assembly.
