What's new

What are the options left now for Imran Khan and PTI?

Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said on Friday that he had told Prime Minister Imran Khan that "mass resignations" were the "last option" left for the government.

The minister's remarks came a day after the Supreme Court set aside National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri's April 3 ruling which dismissed the no-trust resolution against the premier and the subsequent dissolution of the NA by the president on the PM's advice.

Speaking to the media in Islamabad, he said "a wave of disappointment has taken over the nation after the decision".

He said that the sentiment among the people was that a conspiracy was under way to bring those involved in corruption to power.


"But if someone believes that we are laying down our weapons, have no [misconceptions]," he said. "We will fight till our last breath against these thugs, robbers and looters," he added, referring to the opposition.

He then told media persons that yesterday he had told PM Imran that "we should all resign" as this was the "last option" because the country would not be able to function with "robbers and thugs" at the helm.

"I had suggested [submitting] resignations three months ago as I knew what the issues were," Rashid said without elaborating further.

"I was right in saying that we should resign and hold new elections. I was right when I said impose an emergency and I was right when I said to impose governer's rule.

"And I say this today as well that we all should resign together [...] and expose their (the opposition's) real faces to the nation."

The minister said opposition parties would destroy the country's "independent foreign policy".

He followed up on this claim with a cryptic remark, saying: "If there is anyone who believes that people don't understand what has happened, how it has happened and who did it, [understand that] the people know everything."

At the outset of his media talk, the minister, without naming anyone, had implied that "big powers" were behind the no-trust motion against PM Imran.

"This is how big powers execute a no-confidence motion. They buy people. They use health as an excuse and help robbers and thugs flee the country," he said. "Now you will see that all of them will return."

"Foreign powers, who want to impose their mentality in Pakistan, curb our freedom and put an end to our neutrality, will be defeated," he said.

He went on to say that in this case — seemingly an allusion to events that unfolded following the submission of the no-trust motion against PM Imran — "all forces have been exposed".

This, the minister said, was the real issue.

The desperation that he is showing for early elections, it doesn't point to a bright picture. He wants to use foreign interference as an agenda while the agenda is fresh because as time will pass by, people will forget about it and won't be thus influenced.

I don't know how much support he has got but as per polls, I don't see much among native Pakistanis.

If he has the support, then he should go with whatever parliament decides and wait for the next election.

You quoted Gallup polls so here is Gallup polls for you on recent dissolution of NA by Imran Khan.

1. Opinion regarding the dissolution of National Assembly (public opinion)
Support 68% ; Oppose 32%
2. Why is Pakistan's opposition seeking PM IK removal?
Because of inflation 64% ; Because of foreign conspiracy 36%
3. Perception about the performance of PTI government
Satisfied 46% ; Dissatisfied 54%
4. America is a fried of Pakistan or enemy?
Enemy 72% ; Friend 28%

Link provided above feel free to check as its easy to read. From above polls certainly even Gallup is admitting that IK is more popular in the public. Over the next few months he would drive the notion of conspiracy in wider public through his massive jalsas.

Come to think of it on one side of parliament we have 1 party (PTI) with 45% seats and on other side we have 12 parties with 55% seats. Guess which side is getting into power and you'd realise what a joke this is.
 
PML and PPP "perform" well in elections when they are in power and they are master of rigging in election , they have decade long investment in the local and provincial establishment for this very purpose. IK can still beat them if election are conducted fairly .

2013 was the only time fair elections were held, and PTI couldn’t do much.
 
The ruling PTI's political committee has suggested that the party should hand down en masse resignations from the legislatures in the Centre, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, sources privy to the matter said.

The suggestion came during the meeting of PTI's political committee chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Sources said that the meeting discussed the current political situation in the country and held consultations on whether to make the alleged foreign plot in the "threat letter" public.

As per sources, committee members gave suggestions regarding the matter in light of the Secrets Act and judicial orders.

The committee suggested making the "threat letter" public, saying that since there is pressure from the public, a decision should be made through thoughtful consideration.

Moreover, it was decided that the party leadership will take people into confidence over the alleged conspiracy against the government, they added.

Sources said that PTI also decided to expedite the party's public relations campaign and hold rallies in all the districts across the country.

They further quoted PM Imran Khan as saying that a foreign conspiracy was hatched to topple his government.

"We exposed the Opposition becoming an instrument in the foreign conspiracy," the premier was quoted as saying. "Opposition is scared of going towards new elections."

SR is pointing at the military how it forced Imran Khan to let NS leave the country and the same military is now behind the NCV. Imran should come out and expose the Boys.
 
In my view, Imran has a good chance because he has left the economy in a mess with all hard decisions pending. Oil price increase, tax increase, reducing subsidies, interest rate hikes etc. Imran can now say that the new govt screwed everything up and he has the foreign interference story going.

One or two missteps by govt should be enough.
 
In the wake of the Supreme Court's historic verdict directing Prime Minister Imran Khan to face the no-confidence motion against him, the embattled premier is expected to address the nation today during which he will make an "important announcement".

Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said the premier will make "important announcements" in his address to the nation, which will air at 9:30pm.

According to PTI leader Faisal Javed Khan, PM Imran was well aware of how to tackle the challenges thrown his way. "Apparently, the opposition thinks it has won but that is not so. They have lost," he said.

"Kaptaan will make an important announcement today. He will never disappoint the nation," he said.

Inter-Service Intelligence Chief Lt General Nadeem Anjum called on Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday, a day after the Supreme Court of Pakistan restored the National Assembly and ordered a vote on the no-confidence motion against the prime minister to be held.

During the meeting held at the Prime Minister House, the prime minister and the ISI director-general discussed the prevailing situation of the country and key security issues, SAMAA TV reported.

The meeting came as Imran Khan explores his options after the apex court ruling, which leaves little room for him to maneuver. He plans to address the nation Friday night (tonight).

On Friday, Imran Khan also held a meeting of PTI’s political committee attended by Pervez Khattak, Asad Umar, Fawad Chaudhry, and Sheikh Rashed.

Hammad Azahar, Farrukh Habib, Shaukat Tarin, and Babar Awan were also present.

Sheikh Rasheed later told reporters that he had advised Imran Khan that all of the PTI MNAs should submit resignations en masse to force fresh elections.

SAMAA TV’s Abbas Shabbir reported that PTI political committee discussed the future line of action, including a campaign to reach out to the public.

Immediately after the judgement was announced Thursday evening, Imran Khan vowed to fight “till the last ball.”

SAMAA TV reported that the PTI committee has decided to hold public gathering across all districts of the country and raise awareness about the “foreign conspiracy” to topple Imran Khan government.

Imran Khan reported said that the opposition was running away from elections as it didn’t want to face the public, while the PTI had emerged victorious before the people.
 
You can say whatever you want, but in the end it will either be IK or the Army. IK will never let Shahabaz Sharif become PM.
 
Imran ain't going no where. PDM are in a for a rude awakening.

Well IK gave them opportunity of fresh elections, this was what the opposition wanted in first place. But now he is PM again and he will make sure SS never becomes PM.
 
You can say whatever you want, but in the end it will either be IK or the Army. IK will never let Shahabaz Sharif become PM.

Thats good. I wonder if they would handcuff imrans hands on the front or back when he is arrested for contempt of court.

It would certainly be after SS and Zardari get arrested.

I doubt there wil be a military takeover. What will IK do if he loses NCM and then the opposition parties elect Shahabaz Shari. There is absolutely nothing he can dk apart from resignation

He's gonna open some secrets, delay the NCM and get the court to create a committee to investigate the foreign intervention.

lol Oil is set by OPEC and world markets. Not by the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Petrol in Pakistan is cheaper than India and also cheaper than UK. Do you know why? IK is subsidising petrol and diesal. Here in the UK our PM is taxing us blind.


IK should just inform the authorities to arrest the crooks.

Let there be uproar, IK and PTI will win any battle as the public are behind them more now than ever!

Traitor pm telling lies and begging on national tv.

Pathetic
 
Everyone knew ncm would happen as ppp had tokd pdm to go for it 6 months before. I habe been following news in the papers for last one year.

This guy is lieing on national tv saying that only usa knew about ncm coming in place and kept brainwashing . Lies

Ncm was the discussion of ppp and pdm and they left pdm because of this as pdm wasnt coming to the point on ncm before
 
Liar imran is using drone attacks to brainwash the awaam now.....

Now he is claiming to be the expert of maghrib. Maghrib for some reason has his whole profile :))).

The result of having party bois as your pm...
 
Traitor pm telling lies and begging on national tv.

Pathetic

Pathetic are your comments. Shukar karo he didn't say come out now and get the corrupt judges. People are ready for that. It's his greatness that he's still showing humility and sincerity even after all the corrupt ganging up on him
 
Martial law will come in. The power of the people will rise, and the Gaddaar and Sell outs will suffer.
 
The desperation to keep power. Imran Trump Khan. He wants people to come out on street for what? :))

In republic TV, it says pakistan PM describes pak as banana republic. is it true or what? did he really say that?
 
Its obvious that Army is not going to rescue IK at this point. And courts have already ruled a NCM must be conducted. So IK has neither extra-constitutional options, nor those within his power. It seems unlikely that he can get back PTI dissidents in the next day by offering them either a carrot or a stick

So his only hope is is for a PDM led coalition government to collapse fairly quickly and elections be held where he has a change of winning an outright majority using the political martyr message. This is certainly possible but he needs the establishment to stay neutral in the next election . After torching diplomatic conventions and picking fights with the army, you cant really count on their neutrality.
 
IK said he is going to come to the streets to protest against this imported government. What this means is non stop Jalsas. He will not let PDM govern in peace.
 
So.... PTI has accepted the defeat.....

from laughing at opposition few days ago to this.... Pre mature celebration consequences.
 
A turning point in Pakistan's history. These events will be remembered in history forever. IK is not the one to shy away from fighting though. Even with EVM outs, dhandli, no nab cases, PDM in the government IK will be there (If Allah has given him life) in the next election campaign.

One thing is for sure though we as a Nation are not ready for a change or a revolution of some sort. So for now make do with the criminals and America's stick.
 
thanx for the keywords. I searched "Imran khan news" and none of those came up. gonna watch it now.

Republic TV was covering it. After the Arnab-Zelensky interview yesterday, Arnab seems to be on a roll lol. Is Republic going to be out BBC/ CNN/ Al Jazeera ?

Mixed emotions there :))
 
yeah. seems so. I don't think he can recover from this in a year..... It will take some time.

Wishful thinking from our Indian residents on here.

In life its not what you want, its what will happen. :sachin


Imran's support has increased. Majority of Pakistanis support him. As long as this remains, he will be back and take over with even a stronger government.

Zardari and Nawaz will likely be hanged before the end of this decade. With Bilo watching in tears.

The people always win.
 
Why is it difficult for Imran to gracefully exit.

Truth is:

The people didn't give his party absolute majority in the NA.

He cobbled up an alliance to get majority and become PM.

Now those alliance parties have left him and he is in a minority. With or without the pti defectors, he will still be in minority. A minority PM cant be in power in a parliamentary democracy. Why all this rona dhona? Why the protests?

Its not about Leader its about Looters.

NA means zilch if they sold out for a McDonalds $.

The people decide in any civilised demoractic nation. The people will decide here.

Its great, in 12 months, the people will be soo angry, IK will be able to hang them all in public. Send email to NDTV and Republic to watch this live when the day comes.
 
Serious question: who is the no.2 in Imran Khan’s party? I mean like a successor etc.

For eg: for the BJP I can give you plenty of names. In fact there are alternatives to Gandhi family in Congress.

So like that who are his next in lines .

I think Sharif family and Zardari family seem to have a line up of successors.

PTI does not have anybody. Imran's personality does not leave space for other leaders to grow. It's my way or high way. A bit like Kohli, it's all about the captain and not about the team.

Funny thing is you will get arguments from [MENTION=43583]KingKhanWC[/MENTION] with a trump mentality.

You raised a good point that even if all pti mnas stay put, the party cant forma govt because it made an alliance with ANOTHER party.

Basically pti logic, if mqm is with pti, they are good people, if mqm with opposition they unholy people.

The likes of [MENTION=43583]KingKhanWC[/MENTION] already want people to not send money to pakistan or use illegal ways because their favourite person isnt pm.

If the army did a coup and installed imrannas pm, these people would be happy. Ironically, they live in UK that has a proper parliamentary democracy.


You wanna know the funny thing. Even on popular vote, PTI has 31%, PPP and PMLN combine on pupular vote had 38-40%

No one. Thats the funny thing. The party has no ideology and is a complete mess.

They alienated tareen, they have issues going on with khattak. Arfi alvi is president only because he was with imran from the starting days.

Pti doesnt even have statsman that could help pti bring in a new constitution if they win a majority.

There is one guy called amir liaqut that could be a good succesor for this party.

Guys like fawad chaudry, firdous ashiq left other parties to join him.

There is a karachi road constructor called alamgir khan but again he isnt a proper mna more of an mpa...

Mohammad ali khan is one guy who i have heard is the most sincere with pti, so maybe just maybe it could be him

Their is no official #2, however some prominent leaders of PTI are Asad Umar, Murad Saeed, Shahbaz Gill, Fawad Chaudhry.

PTI is a party representing Urban Middle Class/Upper middle class people. These people don't want a dynastic based like almost every other non Mullah party in the country. They don't want ethnic based parties. They don't want a party that is too religious or too liberal.

I think Sharif family and Zardari family seem to have a line up of successors.

Yea their family members.
 
As days passing by.... The impact of IK seems to be decreasing. Even the poster of PTI team here, kind of exhausted with defending every questions.

I have sympathy with you guys but let's face it, you guys knew somewhere that it was illegal and there was a probability that there would be repercussions.

This is far from over. Imran khan maybe out as the pm but this is just the beginning.
 
I thought that the pti would choose an attorney general to defend it in the SC who was on board with the govt decision to dismiss the NCV and to dissolve the assemblies. The fact that they sent in a guy who testified in court that the decision was illegal is the height of incompetency unless this Attorney General accepted a huge bribe from the PDM to spring a surprise in court in PDM.

Trust me, anything and everything in Pakistan can be bought. If the PDM can buy out members from pti, if Chaudhry Sarwar as Punjab Governor was secretly helping the PDM, then buying out the pti attorney general is no problem at all.

To effectively govern Pakistan, the man at the top has to monitor his team's, allies phone conversations, secret recordings, bank records to remain on top of what is going on. This is how dictators rule and ensure that no one can surprise them.

Attorney General was incompetent and so was Naeem Bukhari however, the court would have reached the same decision as it was influenced by the Mistablishment. Attorney Generals incompetence is just an excuse

This whole saga and the "scolding" that SC gave to the speaker and the procedure will leave a mark. IK has realized that he isn't invincible as he thought and people will leave him when Tides are turn which happens to political scenario in any country.

I would say that IK is incompetent in political sector. It isn't cricket as he thought to be.

He's very competent that's why it takes 11 parties + the military + the court + the Election Commission to try to oust him. If he was incompetent, he would've never made it this far in a corrupt society like Pakistan

Nope. The incompetency shows where he doesn't have basic knowledge of parliament and it's procedures in the constitution. Had he make aware of himself, such embarrassing situation wouldn't have happened in the first place. It is clear from the current saga that he doesn't have deeper understanding of the system where as the opposition is well aware of.
 
Imagine Imran wins the NCM and comes back like and undertaker.. Man what drama !!
The speaker is still talking about international conspiracy.

Think you are a little unclear on how the whole thing works.

Imran has a bunch of advisors who tell him what is permissible and what is not.

They took an informed decision but it backfired as the Court seems to be doing its own thing based on their own ideas.

Bro constitution is black and white. It is very clear however the court has added mud to it. The opposition is being supported by foreign elements. There are different laws for PDM and PTI

It can simply be the fact that those advisors mislead IK about what permissible was. Those advisors don't have the authority to interpret the constitution. But supreme court does and as it with any country, supreme court will give verdict according to the what constitution provides.

I have read the verdict and it gives in detail about why the NCM was null and void citing various sections of constitution. The people that are opposing with the verdict, haven't explained while using constitution as the source in order to validate their claims.

In this case, supreme court has taken procedure according to the constitution. I would like to see which section of constitution is violated by the verdict of the supreme court from the people who is arguing against the verdict.

Can you write clause by clause where you believe supreme court has violated the constitution in the verdict?
 
Can you write clause by clause where you believe supreme court has violated the constitution in the verdict?

Article 69 of the Constitution of Pakistan. It reads below:

69. Courts not to inquire into proceedings of Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)
69. (1) The validity of any proceedings in [Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)] shall not be called in question on the ground of any irregularity of procedure.
(2) No officer or member of
[Majlis-e-Shoora Parliament)] in whom powers are vested by or under the Constitution for regulating procedure or the conduct of business, or for maintaining order in [Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)], shall be subject to the jurisdiction of any court in
respect of the exercise by him of those powers.
(3) In this Article, [Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)] has the same meaning as in Article 66.

So basically the court taking Suo Moto action and even accepting the petitions of the opposition is against Article 69.

The constitution is clear on separating these 2 branches of government. Similarly Parliament is refrained interfering with the courts as per Article 68, which reads below:

Restriction on discussion in Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)
68. No discussion shall take place in 1
[Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament)]
with respect to the conduct of any Judge of the Supreme Court or of a High Court in the discharge of his duties.


It's very black and white on the barrier between the two branches of government.
 
No options left now - game over for rejected PM.

It is time to put him behind the bars for violating the constitution.

Imran did state he accepted supreme courts(dodgy) verdict. As usual your going over the top.
 
ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Saturday said that he is seeing political incidents in the county while the institutions are neutral; however, they cannot remain “neutral” for too long.

Speaking to Geo News, Rasheed said the ongoing situation is “alarming and disturbing”, adding that outcome of this "war" cannot be predicted.

“All those who have turned a blind eye towards the situation should open their eyes as this fight is about to come to an end and the outcome could be anything,” he maintained.

The interior minister further added that Prime Minister Imran Khan is “mentally and politically ready” for all sorts of outcomes; however, the decision to hold voting is the lookout of the National Assembly speaker and other legal experts.

Rasheed lamented that people are speaking ill about the institutions of Pakistan, adding that the political temperature in the country is very high at the moment.

Reiterating his stance to hold early elections, he said fresh elections are the “need of the hour” and the Opposition should also move toward transparent elections as this is the “ultimate solution”.

The interior minister further mentioned that PML-N leaders Shahbaz Sharif and Hamza Shahbaz were to be indicted in their ongoing proceeding in the Islamabad High Court; however, the former is gearing to become the prime minister of the country while the latter is eyeing the chief minister’s position in Punjab.

“If two candidates who are to be indicted become the PM and CM then, as a nation, we can only wait and see what happens” he maintained.

Regarding institutions' “neutral” stance in the country's political affairs, Rasheed said that institutions are neutral but they cannot remain neutral for long.

“The ongoing situation questions the integrity of Pakistan and the institutions and while institutes are neutral and they should remain neutral but nothing is above the integrity of the country,” he said.

ISLAMABAD: Ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday filed a review petition against the Supreme Court’s verdict on the Deputy Speaker’s ruling over the no-trust motion in the National Assembly, ARY News reported.

A review petition drafted by Azhar Siddique advocate and Faisal Chaudhry, against the April 07, 2022 verdict by a five-member bench of the apex court, filed in the Supreme Court by the advocate on record.

The petition has pleaded to the court for a review over the verdict given by the five-member bench headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial.

Prime Minister Imran Khan earlier finalized his consultations with legal experts over the matter, sources said.

The apex court will be pleaded in the petition that Article 69 is part of the constitution and the Supreme Court could not take the powers of the assembly, sources earlier said.

The government will plead for suspension of the verdict of the five-member bench and the National Assembly being allowed to function according to the rules, sources said.

Prime Minister Imran Khan earlier chaired a meeting of senior party leaders and legal experts ahead of a National Assembly session for vote on no-confidence motion.

The meeting reviewed strategy in the wake of the apex court’s decision.

Later, Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser also telephoned Prime Minister Imran Khan to discuss the strategy for the voting on the no-trust move.

Earlier in the day, National Assembly secretariat has made it clear to the speaker that violating the apex court’s decision to hold voting on no-trust move will lead to the contempt of court proceedings.

According to sources, the secretariat officials have conveyed that implementation on the Supreme Court’s decision is unavoidable.

“We have conveyed to the speaker that there is no way except voting on no-trust move today,” they said and added, “If there will be no voting then it will be tantamount to contempt of court.”

The Supreme Court announced the verdict on the suo motu case and declared the National Assembly deputy speaker’s ruling ‘unconstitutional’.

The apex court in its landmark verdict, retained the opposition’s no-trust motion against PM Khan. The Supreme Court ruled that the deputy speaker’s ruling was a violation of the Constitution and nullified the dissolution of the National Assembly.

The top court issued directives to immediately wind up the voting process of the no-trust motion against PM Imran Khan. It has been directed that the NA speaker could not adjourn the session for an indefinite period.
