He said the only way for Imran is to tender his resignation as he has lost the majority in the NA.
Bilawal said that Imran has sunk to his knees before everyone to save his seat. “There is no face-saving now and backdoor channel,” he added.
He challenged the prime minister to face them [opposition] in the parliament and asked him to stop running away.
Imran Khan has decided to damage the country and its foreign policy as much as he can before he is ousted, Bilawal said.
He added that Imran Khan would regain a little respect if he opts to depart with dignity.
