Islamabad [Pakistan]: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan shocked the Opposition by advising President Arif Alvi to dissolve National Assembly. His announcement came 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 of Pakistan to prepare for elections," Khan said in an address to the nation. Earlier, National Assembly Deputy Speaker Sadiq Sanjrani dissolved the house alleging "foreign conspiracy" and said that no-trust motion was " unconstitutional".
