Opposition submits motion of No confidence against Imran Khan
On Tuesday, the opposition submitted a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan to the National Assembly Secretariat. The motion was filed by 86 lawmakers from the Opposition parties. The motion was submitted by members of the PTI’s arch-rival, PML-N, JUI-F, PPP, and others.
The Opposition is pushing for Imran Khan‘s removal. They are claiming to have the numbers in the National Assembly to do so. The Opposition has managed to convince 202 members of the National Assembly, including 28 from PTI and others from an ally of the government. However, 16 PTI lawmakers have also sided with PMLN, four with PPP, and two with JUI-F.
