Imran’s departure is clear after losing the number
Another ally of PTI, Balochistan Awami Party has also left the government. Of the five members of the National Assembly, only Union Minister Zubair Jalal has announced that he will leave the alliance.
The trump card may not be the last defense. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has lost his majority in the National Assembly. If no major events take place before the April 3 confidence vote, his government is expected to fall.
Two days ago, Imran resigned from the post of Punjab Chief Minister to his partner PML-Q. It seemed that the opposition got a little confused with his rice. But Imran’s PTI played a bigger role today. Earlier in the day, PPP chairman Bilal Bhutto Zardari claimed that their agreement with the ruling coalition’s second-largest ally, the MQM-P, was complete. Later in the press conference, MQM-P informed that they are joining the opposition alliance in ‘national interest’. The party has seven MPs, including two ministers. As a result, Imran lost seven wickets in one fell swoop.
Another ally of PTI, Balochistan Awami Party has also left the government. Of the five members of the National Assembly, only Union Minister Zubaid Jalal has announced that he will leave the alliance. Even among the five PML-Q MPs, Water Resources Minister Tariq Bashir Cheema has already resigned, saying he would vote against the government. Imran needs 162 votes to win the confidence vote in the 342-seat National Assembly. But the numbers show that the ruling coalition now has only 164 seats. There are 16 opponents. “Leader of the Opposition Shahbaz Sharif will soon be the Prime Minister,” Bilabal said.
Speculation escalated in the evening, will Imran resign? However, PTI spokesperson Neelam Irshad Sheikh dismissed the theory, saying, “Imran Khan will play till the last ball. The army chief and ISI DG visited the PM’s residence. The prime minister will address the nation. “However, Imran later canceled the plan. The government claims that the army did not ask the prime minister to resign.
At a rally in Islamabad on Sunday, the Pakistani prime minister claimed that they had been threatened in a letter. “The no-confidence motion is a valid constitutional process,” Imran said at an e-passport event on the same day. What is happening here is an import crisis against Pakistan. This time I will show that document (letter) to the partner parties. I will also show it to senior journalists.
