ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly Secretariat spokesperson has strongly refuted news circulating in media regarding lower house speaker Asad Qaiser on the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan and ruling of NA Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri thereon.

The spokesperson termed all such news fake and fabricated. He said Qaiser had decided not to preside over the session on April 3 since a no-trust motion had been submitted against him.

He said the National Assembly speaker concurred with the ruling given by the deputy speaker and had signed it.

The spokesperson further said that the matter was pending before the Supreme Court and that the speaker would present his point of view before it through his counsel.

He called for avoiding attributing fake news to the speaker.
