Potohar Town Assembly on Saturday unanimously passed no confidence motion against the Naib Nazim convenor Chaudhary Muhammad Farooq as all 42 members present in the 52-member house voted against him.
The special session of the assembly convened here with Chaudhary Mazhar Mehmood presiding officer in the chair took up the no confidence motion filed by Arshad Mehmood, Naib Nazim UC-115 against the Potohar Town Naib Nazim blaming him of misconduct and resorting to arrogant attitude while dealing with other members.
The motion was put before the house and in a secret ballot, all 42 members present in the house including 10 lady councillors, voted in favour of the motion. In the 52-member house, nine members were absent.
After the passage of the no confidence motion against the Naib Nazim, Potohar Town Nazim Hamid Nawaz Raja congratulated the members saying that the house was compelled to take the democratic course against the behaviour of the Naib Nazim. The negative approach of the Naib Nazim had hindered the development work in the town, he recalled.
Meanwhile, addressing a press conference after the passage of no confidence motion, Chaudhary Farooq said the Town Nazim kept him in dark as the issue of corruption and mismanagement in the town administration was under discussion, which he wanted to sideline. He said he would challenge the passage of no confidence motion against him in the court of law. "I have tendered my resignation to Chief Minister Punjab who had nominated me as Naib Nazim," he said.
