In his resignation letter sent on April 14, Niazi wrote, “I am resigning from the post of Prime Minister under Article 16 (1) of the Constitution.” He sent his resignation letter to Sultan Mahmud Chowdhury, the president of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Accept resignation
According to the Pakistani newspaper ‘Dawn’, the Secretary for Presidential Affairs. Asif Hossain has confirmed that Shah Chowdhury has accepted Niazi’s resignation. He said an official notification has been sent to the chief secretary for issuance.
At a news conference in Islamabad on Thursday, Niazi said the no-confidence motion had brought baseless allegations against him. Niazi became the prime minister of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir last year, when the PTI won 32 of the 53 seats in the House in an election.
India rejected the PO election
India rejected the POK election as a sham. India has said it is trying to cover up Pakistan’s illegal occupation. Reacting to the election in PoK, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that Pakistan has no right to these Indian territories. He should have taken all the Indian territories which he has illegally occupied.
