ISLAMABAD – Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif said that Prime Minister Imran Khan and NA Speaker Asad Qaiser will be tried under Article 6 after Suri rejected the PDM’s no-confidence motion, calling it in contrast to Article 5 of the Constitution.
Fuming opposition leaders blasted at the premier soon after the dismissal of the no-confidence motion earlier in the day.
PML-N president and Leader of opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif said that the PM and the NA speaker will be tried under Article 6 of the Constitution, saying Khan committed ‘treason’ by rejecting voting on the no-trust motion.
Sharif said dismissal of the no-confidence resolution will damage democracy as he expressed hope that Supreme Court will address the matter amicably.
The PML-N leader and daughter of former PM, Maryam Nawaz also slammed PM Imran in a social media post. She said no one should be allowed to change the Constitution to save their ouster as seasoned politician called Imran Khan ‘obsessive and maniac’.
Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also condemned the situation as latest political happenings have thrown country of nearly 221 million into a constitutional crisis.
He vowed to initiate a legal tussle against the unconstitutional ruling by the NA Deputy Speaker.
