Year Ender 2022: Imran Khan's ouster and political instability in Pakistan

Hindustan Times  

In recent months, political instability has been witnessed in Pakistan after PTI Chairman Imran Khan was ousted from power through a no-confidence motion. On March 10, Pakistan's Supreme Court Bar Association President Muhammad Ahsan Bhoon said that the no-confidence motion submitted by the opposition against Prime Minister Imran Khan is as per the constitution. On March 30, Imran Khan called the opposition's no-confidence motion a "huge foreign conspiracy against Pakistan." On April 3, Pakistan National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri blocked the voting on a no-trust motion filed against Imran Khan and adjourned the session citing foreign conspiracy. The ECP's decision came after the Pakistan Democratic Movement on August 4 moved the reference against the PTI Chairman Imran Khan for not sharing the details" of Toshakhana gifts and proceeds from their alleged sale.
