QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani has said he does not care about the opposition’s threat to bring no-trust motion against him.

“If my allies do not support me, I will leave the post of Leader of the House (in Balochistan Assembly)myself,” Mr Alyani said in a message on social media.

He made the remarks in a tweet following a no-confidence motion against him.

“Alhamdulillah, I do not care at all about the no-confidence motion filed by the opposition. It is important to me that my party and allies are with me. The day my party and allies are not with me, it will be useless for me to be the leader of the house and I will resign,” he said.
