QUETTA: Mohammad Rafiq on Saturday assumed the post of acting district nazim of Dera Bugti, following the passing of a no-confidence motion against former district nazim Kazim Bugti, sources said. The Dera Bugti District Council, they said, had moved the no-trust motion against Kazim, a staunch supporter of the late Nawab Akbar Bugti, due to his extended absence from the post. Sixteen out of a total of 19 district councillors supported the motion. The demand for Kazim's removal was also raised at the government-backed jirga of Bugti tribesman, convened on August 24, two days before the killing of the nawab.
