Dawn's Irfan Hussain Calls Iman Khan/TuQ 'Clowns' and 'Demagogues'

But there is no such thing as a "temporary" resignation, hence the demand is a disingenuous way to disguise the real grab for power, and one that fails totally.

I agree with you about the real intentions but I still think the PM can resign as PM, and some other person can take the role of PM--PMLN has a large majority of its own. There is nothing stopping from that scenario from happening even if we don't use the 'temporary resignation' term.

BTW, I am dead set against the PM resigning even for a day! Let the thugs rant all they want. If they are going to force the Army to mount a coup then let it be an OPEN COUP! The real marches will come when 11 out of 12 parties of the Parliament, Lawyers Bodies, Civil Society, and Judiciary will agitate...

Of course the PM can resign anytime he wishes to do so. Then the Parliament needs to convene and elect a new PM from the majority party. That is the process.

There is NO such provision in the Constitution to force a temporary stepping down of an elected PM, no matter who makes such a demand. The PM can either resign voluntarily, or lose a No Confidence Motion in the Parliament. That is it. PTI is wrong 100%.

And Constitution of Pakistan didn't descend from sky as a holy book which cannot be altered. These corrupt politicians can pass bills within few minutes and make amendments to allow Nawaz Sharif to become Prime Minister for third time, but they cannot do an amendment which is need of hour.

And by the way, I hope you're following Afghan elections 2014 which are happened right next to our door. They are gonna make an amendment in constitution to form a public govt. Take that as an example..

If there is a Constitutional Amendment to allow such temporary resignations passed by due process, then it becomes law and I would have no problem with it.
