ISLAMABAD:Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari talking to the media soon after the rejection of no-confidence motion against PM said on Sunday that that we had numbers to pass the no-confidence motion and the Speaker has made an unconstitutional move.
“Pakistan’s Constitution has been violated. The punishment for doing so is clear. The united opposition has decided to protest in the National Assembly until our constitutional right is attained,” he said.
Our lawyers will approach the Supreme Court now for the voting on the no-confidence to be held today, he added. Bilawal said that PM could not dissolve the Assembly now. He must face the no-confidence. He said: “If the Speaker thinks that he can prorogue the House, we have snatched this option be submitting a no-confidence against him as well.”
The only democratic and constitutional way is for the Supreme Court to rule for the no-confidence voting to take place today, he said. He said: “This is a childish act and Imran Khan has exposed himself further. I would like to appeal to the Pakistani nation to support the constitution and democracy, not some puppet and undemocratic person.
“Imran Khan is running from the no-confidence by fabricating a foreign conspiracy. We have the Supreme Court and will not let him proceed with such unconstitutional acts,” he concluded.
