LAHORE: Punjab Assembly Monday passed a resolution unanimously demanding President Pervez Musharraf to seek vote of confidence.
A total of 321 votes supported the resolution whereas only 25 went against it.
The resolution states that under the Constitution, Punjab Assembly is part of Electoral College and that the house deems Presidential election of October 2007 as un-constitutional.
President Musharraf suspended the Constitution twice, violated the Constitution and overthrew democratic government.
The resolution said President is supposed to be a representative of the Federation but President Musharraf weakend the Federation and inter-provincial harmony leading to a sense of deprivation among provinces.
His policies plunged the country into political, economic as well as power crisis.
The resolution demanded President Pervez Musharraf to seek vote of confidence from the four provincial assemblies including Punjab Assembly. Failing to get the vote, an impeachment motion would be moved against him, it added.
