Former Pakistan Prime Minister also claimed that retired Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa called him a “playboy” during their last meeting before his ouster from the Constitutional position last year.
A viral video shows Pakistan's former PM Imran Khan making a blunder during a live address to the nation. The incident has gone viral on the internet and has sparked a meme fest among netizens. Check out.
Imran Khan failed to pass his toughest political test since assuming office in 2018 due to defections in his party and cracks in the ruling coalition. He is the first premier in Pakistan whose fate was decided through a trust vote.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan addressed the nation on Friday, a day ahead of the controversial no-confidence vote.
During the interview, Imran Khan drew several references from the life of Prophet Mohammad and the Quran, while also talking about the need to inculcate values in the younger generation.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had faced a major political setback on Thursday after the Supreme Court quashed the Deputy Speaker's dismissal of a vote of no-confidence that was tabled by the Opposition. Khan will address the nation shortly ahead of no-confidence vote in the national assembly tomorrow.
Pakistan's Cabinet Secretariat, on Sunday evening, issued a notification stating that Imran Khan will no longer be the PM, with immediate effect.
Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial took notice of the situation and a three member bench held the initial hearing despite the weekend and issued notices to all the respondents, including President Alvi and deputy Speaker of the NA.
PM Imran Khan had skipped the assembly session today, despite deciding earlier to attend the session. His supporters were seen on the streets, protesting as he asked them to earlier.
No Pakistani prime minister has ever completed a full five-year term in office. Also, no prime minister in Pakistan's history has ever been ousted through a no-confidence motion, and Khan is the third premier to face the challenge.
Speaking at a live question and answer session, Khan said he had "more than one plan" for Sunday's vote on the no-confidence motion against him in the National Assembly.
Despite deciding earlier that the party members will not attend during the voting day, in a surprise move, the prime minister has directed the party lawmakers to attend the National Assembly proceedings.
Pakistan's Punjab province's ex-Chief Minister Usman Buzdar had quit earlier on Monday after a delegation of senior lawmakers had submitted a no-trust motion against him in the provincial assembly.
The Congress leaders also felt "little differences" between the 137-year-old party and other opposition parties should be kept aside as non-BJP leaders attempt to unite to defeat 'a fundamental force' like the BJP.
Pakistan Deputy Speaker adjourned the House till 11 am on Sunday, amid vociferous protest from opposition lawmakers.
Khan, 69, came to power in 2018 with promises to create a ‘Naya Pakistan’ but miserably failed to address the basic problem of keeping the prices of commodities in control, giving air to the sails of opposition ships to make war on his government.
Thousands of supporters of the prime minister came in trains, public vehicles and private cars to attend the “historic” rally of the ruling party.
PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz asked the prime minister to show some self-respect and urged him to resign instead of seeking time to cling onto power.
"They (opposition) are buying the parliamentarians openly. I want the people to join me against this crime being committed against democracy and the nation. Let us show them that we are against these looters who are buying the public representatives through their money," said Khan in his message.
Imran Khan, 69, is heading a coalition government and he can be removed if some of the partners decide to switch sides, which is not unusual in parliamentary democracies.
