Government late yesterday warned of what it claimed is an opposition PPP/C plot to disrupt today’s sitting of National Assembly, a claim that the party’s executive member Anil Nandlall dismissed as “simply comical and the figment of the government’s paranoid imagination.”
In a statement, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said that government has credible evidence that the opposition intends to disrupt the sitting at which House Speaker Dr Barton Scotland is expected to address the consequences of the December 21 PPP/C-sponsored no-confidence vote against the government.
The DPI reminded that Government has submitted to the Speaker, a legal brief on the interpretation of the relevant constitutional provisions for passage of a confidence motion and has agreed that 34 of the 65 members is the required majority, not 33.
