A no-confidence motion against former Health Secretary Ali Jan was presented in the assembly, signed by 70 members. Government member Malik Amjad Ali Javed presented the motion, citing concerns over Ali Jan's performance.

The session unanimously approved a resolution commemorating September 6, paying tribute to Pakistan's armed forces for their sacrifices in the 1965 war.

Health Minister Khawaja Salman Rafique defended the government’s stance on the no-confidence motion, while Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan ordered Ali Jan's presence in the assembly.
