He said a wave of disappointment had triggered among the masses with the verdict of the Supreme Court in the case about dissolution of the National Assembly and ruling of the NA deputy speaker.
“The nation knows everything that how and who did this all,” he said adding that he knew about the situation therefore he was asking three months ago to hold elections again. Three months ago, he asked the ruling party to submit resignations and dissolve assemblies, he maintained.
In a landmark judgment, the top court on April 7 termed the deputy speaker’s ruling conflicting to the constitution and restored the dissolved National Assembly.
The court nullified all the measures taken by Imran Khan and President Arif Alvi and said the speaker could not adjourn National Assembly’s session without voting on no-confidence motion.
The court ordered to call the legislature’s session on Saturday (April 9) for voting on no-confidence motion. It also ordered to keep the voting process free of impediments.
