MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Law Minister Abdul Waheed Sunday said that the no-confidence motion against incumbent Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq would be tabled within three to four days.
His comments came amid continuing political uncertainty in the region, as Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari asserted that his party had secured the required numbers to form a government in AJK.
In a statement, the law minister said the no-confidence motion had been delayed due to consultations with stakeholders.
Waheed, however, assured that the PPP has attained the numerical majority to form the government without the support of any other party.
The minister said that PPP’s seats had risen to 27 after PTI forward bloc members, led by Barrister Sultan Mahmood, joined its ranks.

He said that PTI forward bloc members could not be subject to the floor-crossing law, noting that the party had not been registered in AJK for the last two years.
The minister said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would support the PPP in the no-confidence motion, despite the party’s announcement that it would sit on the opposition benches.
