Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman Friday said that any act or order of the prime minister or the government for any type of appointment or transfer would be deemed unconstitutional after submission of the no-confidence motion, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

“The foreign posting of Azam Khan, who has been serving as the principal secretary to prime minister for the past many years, and a partner in all his [Imran Khan’s] good and bad deeds, is a clear example of nepotism,” said the PDM chief in a statement.

“His foreign posting is illegal and immoral after the submission of the no-confidence motion to the National Assembly secretariat,” Fazl added.

“Any type of posting, appointment, or withdrawal after the submission of the no-confidence motion will be considered a wrong step, and it will be resisted,” he vowed.

“The political parties hope that courts will play their role in this regard,” he said and added that Imran Khan did not have the power to impose emergency or Governor’s Rule because he had lost the majority.
