Islamabad (Pakistan), April 03 (ANI): In a rapid turn of events, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan shocked the Opposition by advising President Arif Alvi to dissolve National Assembly. His statement came after moments after National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri, who was chairing today's session, dismissed the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, terming it a contradiction of Article 5 of the Constitution. “I have written to the President to dissolve the assemblies. There should be elections in a democratic way. I call upon the people to Pakistan to prepare for elections. I congratulate every Pakistani on the Speaker's decision. The no-confidence motion was a foreign conspiracy against us. Pakistan should decide who should govern them,” said Imran Khan. Notably, Cricketer turned politician Imran was facing no-confidence motion as his government has lost majority in the Parliament after several allies joined opposition ranks. PM Imran had also refused to resign from his post saying that he will fight till the very end.
