ISLAMABAD: The Opposition is considering moving a no-confidence motion against National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, sources told Bol News on Saturday.

The PPP has approached the PML-N to move a no-confidence motion against the Senate chairman and National Assembly speaker.

Officials privy to the development said that the PPP is of the view that in the current situation, due to secret ballots, many members of the government would vote against the speaker.
