Prime Minister Imran Khan has suffered a major setback after the Supreme Court's decision in Pakistan, but in the meantime, political turmoil continues in the country. At the same time, after the Supreme Court's decision, the National Assembly will vote on the no-confidence motion against the Imran government today.

Meanwhile, Imran resolved to fight till the last ball, bypassing the unity of the opposition through a no-confidence motion. Imran Khan said that my message to our country is that I have always fought for Pakistan till the last ball and will continue to fight.

The Express Tribune newspaper quoted party sources as saying that PTI is also considering the resignation of its MLAs in the national and provincial assemblies, as Imran Khan is likely to be defeated during the vote of no confidence in the National Assembly on Saturday. .

On the other hand, the opposition has planned to hold rallies across the country. The opposition can also take out a common rally in Islamabad. It is believed that Nawaz Sharif will address it from London through virtual medium.

Nawaz Sharif activated

After the decision of the Supreme Court, former PM Nawaz Sharif has become active before the vote on the no-confidence motion against the Imran government in the National Assembly at 10 am on April 9. In one of his rally, there is a plan to address the country through virtual medium from London. Sharif also called MQM leader Khalid Siddiqui to congratulate him on the Supreme Court's decision. On the other hand, efforts have intensified to form a new government in Pakistan.

Imran's departure is certain, Shahbaz can be the next PM

The fall of the Imran government is believed to be certain after the vote on the no-confidence motion in the National Assembly on Saturday. Actually, the majority figure in the Parliament of 342 MPs is 172 and Imran's party has gone a long way from this. While the opposition has 199 MPs. In such a situation, the opposition front led by PPP and PML-N is sure to come to power. PML-N leader Shahbaz Sharif could be the prime minister in the new government.

Shahbaz Sharif is the brother of former PM Nawaz Sharif and is currently the Leader of the Opposition. He was the chief minister of the state of Punjab from 2008 to 2018 and was exiled to Saudi Arabia in 1999 under the regime of dictator Pervez Musharraf. Sharif also faces charges of money laundering and corruption to the tune of Rs 7 billion.

Commission to investigate 'foreign conspiracy' to remove Imran government

The Pakistan government has set up a commission headed by retired army lieutenant general Tariq Khan to probe the alleged "foreign conspiracy" behind the no-confidence motion moved to remove Imran Khan.

Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that in the cabinet meeting chaired by the Prime Minister, it was decided to set up a commission to investigate the threat letter. The commission will investigate the source of the conspiracy to destabilize the government and its local allies.

"We have evidence that eight disgruntled provincial MPs were in contact with foreigners," Fawad said. The decision to set up the commission comes a day after the Supreme Court overturned the decision of National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri and ordered the Imran government to prove its majority.

People should protest on the streets on Sunday: Imran

Addressing the nation ahead of the vote on the no-confidence motion, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he is disappointed with the Supreme Court's decision on Thursday in the no-confidence motion case against the government. He said, the Supreme Court did not investigate the hand of foreign conspiracy behind the opposition's no-confidence motion against his government.

Nor did he see the evidence available about this. He appealed to the people of the country to protest across the country on Sunday. Imran addressed the people of the country on Friday night. He said that I respect the Supreme Court and the judiciary but the apex court should have seen the threat letter before giving its verdict.

In perhaps his last address as the country's prime minister, Khan reiterated his allegation that his visit to Russia had prompted a US diplomat to warn of a change of power in Pakistan and that Pakistan would be forgiven if Imran left. The consequences will have to be suffered. Our opposition parties are completely under US control.

Khan alleged that politicians are being horse-traded like sheep and goats in Pakistan. He said that this culture was started in the country by the Sharif brothers. Democracy has become a joke in Pakistan.

Then the self-respecting community praised India

Khan, who had praised Indian foreign policy, again said, India is a Khuddar community, no super power has the status to do anything against India. We have bad relations because of RSS and Kashmir but I also want the same situation for my people.

I cannot sacrifice my people. 35 lakh people had to leave their homes. 80 thousand people died. Had we gone to war on terror without taking money from America, we would have helped our brothers in Afghanistan.

Shahbaz Sharif America's hanger

He said that we have come to know that US diplomats are meeting Pakistani politicians. A few months ago, he had called the leaders and said that a no-confidence motion against Imran Khan is going to come. So my question to the community is what kind of government do we want. Accused Shahbaz Sharif of being a hanger of America.

I don't have any property abroad

Imran Khan said, I opposed drone strikes in Pakistan. Supported talks with Afghanistan. Opposed the attack in Iraq. There were 400 drone strikes in Pakistan, they protested. I do not have any property or bank balance abroad.
