No-confidence motion in Pakistan Parliament in bid to remove Khan

Pakistani opposition legislators have launched a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan in parliament, hoping to remove Khan’s government amid accusations he has mismanaged the nation’s economy.

The house will begin a debate on the motion on Thursday and a vote is to be held within seven days.
 

Shehbaz Sharif, the opposition leader in the National Assembly or lower house of the parliament, proposed the no-confidence motion against Khan on Monday.

“The prime minister ceases to hold his office after he has lost the confidence of this house,” Sharif said, reading from the no-confidence motion telecast live on television. (Foreign Agencies)
