No-trust vote dismissed, Imran Khan gets Pakistan parliament dissolved

The Hindu  

Pakistan’s beleaguered Prime Minister Imran Khan bowled a yorker at his rivals on Sunday by getting the presidential nod for the dissolution of Parliament, a move dubbed “unconstitutional” by the Opposition parties. Earlier, Deputy Speaker Suri dismissed the no-confidence motion moved by the Opposition against Prime Minister Khan, terming it against the Constitution and rules of Pakistan. Legal challenge “We are going to challenge the ruling by the Deputy Speaker and advice by the Prime Minister to dissolve parliament in the Supreme Court,” said Shehbaz Sharif, Leader of the Opposition in Parliament. Former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif said Mr. Khan and all others involved in the “conspiracy” against the nation are guilty of high treason and should be tried for desecrating the Constitution.
