I never said that. I am happy they left. They have killed their own politics by aligning with PPP

Anyways like any kind of filth they have natural found refuge with PDM. The natural abode of filth in Pakistan



Yeah he was an absconder just 12 hours before the vote. Doesn't change the fact that he was running away from the law for months


Yeah after forcing the poor widow of nazim jokhio to pardon him

They were clean as crystal and NAFEES LOGE when they were part of PTI government, now they are filth, right ho gia.

Haha ro patwari ro. 😁🥳😄

I am with Imran Khan School of Thought:


Joke aside, to "buy" votes he doled out 50 crore to each MPA and MNA of his party, he pardoned "corruption" of billions of rupees, now elections are near and people just want to secure their political career.


Let's not change the goal posts mate...don't embarass yourself.

They probably know this ruling would not be struck down, so they are calling it 'constitutional coup'. Haha... This constitution is the most amended one by these very people to their liking. Love the meltdown.😄🥳😁

She says IK desolved parliament to remain in Power and took people's right to choose their leadership. Someone should tell her he already send name for caretaker PM and asked Pakistani citizens to prepare for elections.

He had no power to dissolve NA, and rob the right to vote from MNAs.

Sure Sir,

I just wanted to highlight how world thinks that IK abrogated the constitution, people brought the matter of turncoats.
He did not abrogate the constitution.He did everything by the book that is why it has not been struck down.It is just a pipedream of the liberal brigade and that won't happen.

You can't look at things with colored glasses. Gotta be transparent. That's all I am saying.

Imran Khan Dissolves Parliament to Remain in Office

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s move on Sunday to dissolve parliament rather than face a no-confidence vote that could remove him from power effectively deprives Pakistani citizens of their right to choose their government.

On April 3, Qasim Khan Suri, the deputy speaker of Pakistan’s national assembly, dismissed a no-confidence motion against the prime minister. Claiming that “loyalty to the state was the basic duty of every citizen,” and that the no-confidence move was a “foreign conspiracy,” Suri refused to allow the vote. Khan’s government then dissolved the national assembly and called for new elections in 90 days.


The move has plunged Pakistan into constitutional crisis. Under Pakistan’s constitution, the prime minister ceases to hold office if a majority of the National Assembly votes for a motion of no confidence – Imran Khan’s party appeared to have lost its majority by April 3. The action allows Khan to continue as prime minister until a caretaker government takes over, with neither a national assembly nor a federal cabinet.
Legal experts, journalists, and rights group have condemned Khan’s maneuver as an assault on the country’s democracy. Now the Supreme Court of Pakistan, which took up the matter on April 3, is the only constitutional body empowered to adjudicate on the legality of the government’s dissolution. A hearing is scheduled on Wednesday, April 6.

The situation prior to the no-confidence vote was already fraught. Government officials threatened to “blow up the opposition in a suicide attack” and called on supporters to go out and take “traitors” to task. One member of parliament from Khan’s party tweeted that all opposition members should be shot – a tweet he subsequently deleted. Senior members of Khan’s party have called for opposition members to be arrested for treason.

Imran Khan’s dissolution of parliament to prevent it from voting so that he could remain in office threatens core democratic principles. It infringes on the rights of Pakistani citizens to choose their government, which is protected under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The government’s threatened use of violence, allegations of treason, and abrogation of the constitution are hallmarks of dictatorship, which Pakistanis have previously endured and should not have to endure again.


Elections are going to happen so the public decide, not horse traders. They are so desperate to remove Khan from the picture.
