Thanks to Allah I did not do unconstitutional things: ex-governor Sarwar

LAHORE: Dismissed Governor Punjab Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar has thanked to Allah that he avoided doing unconstitutional things.

Talking to reporters informally on Sunday, Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar said that he always preferred to abide by the Constitution. How can I do unconstitutional things, he said.

He further added that he had offered his resignation a few days ago to avoid any unconstitutional action.

Sarwar said that he would announce the future strategy in consultation with his colleagues.

It may be recalled that Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry today informed through social media about first dismissing Chaudhry Sarwar from the post of Governor Punjab and then appointing Omar Sarfraz Cheema as the new Governor Punjab in his place.

Earlier, the deputy speaker adjourned the session of the Punjab Assembly under a ruling only after a few minutes here on Sunday.

The deputy speaker justified the worst commotion in the assembly session and adjourned the Punjab Assembly session till April 6.

The meeting of the Punjab Assembly lasted only 6 minutes due to which neither voting for the election of the new Chief Minister could take place today nor a no-confidence motion could be moved in the Punjab Assembly against the Speaker.

Meanwhile, National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri has termed the no-trust motion as violation of the Constitution.

The Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, while rejecting the no-confidence motion, stopped the ruling and adjourned the sitting till March 25.

In a tumultuous session of the National Assembly chaired by Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri, Law Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that a meeting is held on March 7 and a no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister was presented on March 8 a day later.

Fawad Chaudhry said that our ambassador is summoned to a meeting on March 7, in which officials of other countries also sit. Our ambassador is informed that a no-confidence motion against Imran Khan is being filed. Until then no one in Pakistan knew that the no-confidence motion was coming.
