In addition, no-trust motion, moved by the opposition parties against PM Khan, will be debated in the National Assembly today at 4 pm. The resolution, moved by leader of the opposition, Mian Shahbaz Sharif, said that the prime minister had lost the confidence of parliament, after which he could not remain in the office. The no-confidence motion tabled on March 28 has to be voted on in seven days.
Prime Minister Imran Khan, as the chairman of PTI, has written a letter to all his members of the National Assembly to stay away from debate and voting on the no-trust motion. The letter said, “all members of the Assembly must follow the instructions and keep in mind that Article 63A will apply if the session was attended.”
Yesterday, opposition political parties demanded PM Khan’s resignation, saying that he has lost majority in the national assembly after the secession of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) from the ruling alliance. The demand was made during a news conference where the Mutahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan formally announced its support to the opposition on the no-confidence motion, saying that it is a test of national leadership to address the current political turmoil.
