Shehryar Afridi ousted as chairman of Parliamentary Special Committee on Kashmir
PTI leader had a motion of no-confidence levelled against him, 16 members voted in favour of the motion
The Parliamentary Special Committee on Kashmir successfully passed the motion of no-confidence tabled against committee chairman and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shehryar Afridi on Thursday.
The meeting of the special committee was chaired by the additional secretary of the National Assembly, as Chairman Afridi was not present.
Reportedly, no members of the former ruling PTI attended the session, apart from its dissenting members.
The no-confidence motion was moved by Nawab Sher Wasir, a PTI dissident, as the chairman had not resigned.
Sixteen members voted in favour of the no-confidence motion against Shehryar Afridi, which was then effectively passed.
As chairman of the legislative body, Afridi had previously urged overseas Pakistanis to lobby for Kashmir cause in their host countries.
He expressed these views while addressing participants of the first-ever overseas Pakistanis convention 2022.
The event was held under the aegis of the Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir in collaboration with the Overseas Pakistanis Global Foundation (OPGF) and Graana.com.
