A total of 31 members in the 49-member house favored the no-confidence motion while 15 opposed it and two members abstained, said the report.
People favored the no-trust motion accused the Prime Minister of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir Sardar Atiq of corruption and incompetence to run affairs of the government, according to the NNI.
