Pakistani MPs Chant ‘Death to America’ as They Reject Khan’s No-Confidence Motion
News - Middle East: Fir the first time in the history of Pakistan's parliament, the country's parliamentarians chanted "Death to America" as the legislature rejected a no-confidence vote, which sought to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan, saying "foreign powers" are interfering in the country's democratic process.
Qasim Khan Suri, National Assembly deputy speaker, dismissed the no-trust move against the prime minister on Sunday, terming it as "contradictory" to Article 5 of Pakistan's Constitution.
Suri said that the motion was presented on March 8 and should be according to the law and the Constitution, stressing, "No foreign power shall be allowed to topple an elected government through a conspiracy."
The president later dissolved the National Assembly on Khan's advice.
"The President of Pakistan, Dr Arif Alvi, has approved the advice of the Prime Minister," a statement from his office said, meaning fresh elections must be held within 90 days.
The opposition vowed to challenge the move in the country's Supreme Court.
Khan's fate is now in a state of limbo which would lead to fresh political instability in the country.
