ISLAMABAD - Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) PM Sardar Abdul Qayyum Niazi on Thursday tendered his resignation from his office to defuse the move by his parliamentary party — PTI — to replace him with regional president Sardar Tanveer Ilyas through a vote of no-confidence. Niazi was to face a vote of no confidence on Friday after 25 members of the PTI parliamentary party had moved a resolution to this effect against him on Tuesday under Article 18 of the AJK Constitution.
