ISLAMABAD: The crucial session for the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan — which started after much delay — was adjourned till Sunday 11:30am.
The NA Secretariat had issued the order of the day for today on Wednesday night, with a discussion on the no-trust move against the premier on the session’s agenda.
The session was held under the chairmanship of NA Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri, with more than 172 members from the Opposition benches in attendance.
PM Imran Khan has seemingly lost the majority in the lower house after PTI’s allies — MQM-P, BAP, JWP, independent MNA from Balochistan Aslam Bhootani — decided to side with the Opposition.
The prime minister, after the allies started leaving the government’s camp, has time and again repeated that he will not resign and “fight till the last ball”.
Earlier, PM Imran Khan called a National Security Committee (NSC) where the “threat letter”, which according to the government challenges Pakistan’s sovereignty, was discussed.
The premier is also scheduled to address the nation later tonight, as the political pressure on the premier mounts amid a no-trust motion against him floating in the National Assembly.
