Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has welcomed the Supreme Court's decision to restore the National Assembly. The court on Thursday declared the government's decision to dissolve the assembly unconstitutional. Criticizing Imran Khan, Sharif said the people of Pakistan are thanking God that the decision was announced. He said that the Prime Minister in crisis kept the common people of Pakistan hungry.

Nawaz Sharif told the media in London, "I want to congratulate everyone in the country. People have got rid of the person who ruined the country, who starved the common people. Dollar reached 200 today And people are disappointed with the inflation in the country."

Vice President's decision contrary to constitution and law

A five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Omar Ata Bandiyal, while delivering the historic verdict, said that the decision of the Vice President was against the Constitution and the law. It had no legal effect. It is cancelled. Justice Bandiyal said that the Vice-President had delivered a judgment on April 3. The no-confidence motion was allowed on March 28. The Speaker's decision is declared unconstitutional.

Advice on dissolution of National Assembly declared unconstitutional

The court also declared Prime Minister Khan's advice to President Arif Alvi to dissolve the National Assembly as unconstitutional. The bench also included Justice Ijazul Ahsan, Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar Miankhel, Justice Muneeb Akhtar and Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel. The bench restored Prime Minister Khan and his cabinet to their posts as on April 3.

Order to call session of National Assembly on 9th April

The top court ordered the speaker to convene a session of the National Assembly on April 9 at 10 am to vote on the no-confidence motion. The court ordered that if the no-confidence motion is passed, a new prime minister should be elected. The opposition parties need 172 members in the 342-member house to oust Prime Minister Khan and have already shown excessive numbers. Now Khan is likely to be the first prime minister in the history of Pakistan to be thrown out of the no-confidence motion.
