US once again strongly refutes PM Imran Khan's allegations

The US State Department has once again spurned Prime Minister Imran Khan’s allegations of toppling his government through a no-trust motion by funding the Opposition.

On March 27, at a jalsa, the PM accused the US of interfering in Pakistan’s politics and plotting to oust his regime through a no-trust motion in the National Assembly.

As proof, the PM also brandished a ‘threat letter’ at a public gathering, saying that a foreign country has warned of dire consequences if he remains in power.

Following the Opposition's ruckus on the ‘threat letter’, the PM had called the National Security Committee (NSC) and presented the letter. To this, the NSC expressed concern and a demarche was issued to the US envoy in Pakistan.

Subsequently, based on this ‘threat letter’, the deputy speaker rejected the no-trust motion against the PM and President Arif Alvi dissolved the NA on the PM’s advice. However, this act turned into a deep constitutional crisis as the matter is in the Supreme Court now.

Earlier, the US State Department and White House categorically rejected PM’s allegations and said the US government has nothing to do with it.

Despite the earlier rejection, the US has once again refuted PM Imran Khan’s allegations over the US government involvement.

During a regular press briefing, US State Department spokesperson Ned Price rejected the allegation and said, “The US believes in democratic principle, not only in Pakistan but around the world.”

“There is no truth to the allegation as you heard from me last week, we support the peaceful upholding of constitutional democratic principle,” he added.

Ned Price further maintained that the US never supports one political party as it encourages broader principles.

“We do not support one political party over another, we support the broader principles, the principles of rule, of law, and equal justice under the law,” he said.

Imran Khan's rule has ended, he has no idea what happened to him: Bilawal

PPP-Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday said that Naya Pakistan came to an end, but Imran Khan has no idea what just happened to him.

Addressing a rally of his party workers in Sukkar, Bilawal said that despite his rule coming to an end, Imran Khan and his supporters are celebrating the occasion.

"Imran Khan has no idea what has just happened to him," Bilawal said, adding that the Opposition has finally held the former, PTI-led government accountable.

He went on to say that throughout its tenure, the PTI government and the "selected" premier had badly hurt Pakistan.

"Imran Khan's government made every institution of the country controversial," Bilawal said. "State institutions belong to every Pakistani, not Imran Khan."

Speaking about the decision of the National Assembly's deputy speaker to bar the Opposition from voting on the no-confidence motion against the prime minister Sunday, Bilawal said that instead of facing the competition, "Imran Khan chose to flee as he is a coward".

"He ran away from the no-confidence motion; he fled from the battlefield," Bilawal maintained. "But while running, he has also violated the Consitution of the country."

The PPP chairman said that just to stay as the prime minister of the country for two weeks, Imran Khan violated the Constitution of the country.

Speaking about the importance of the Constitution, Bilawal said that the Parliament and all state institutions exist because of the Constitution.

"Does the Constitution of Pakistan has no value?" he questioned. "Is it only a piece of paper? It seems like for Imran Khan, the Constitution is nothing but a piece of paper."

He said that the judiciary must endure that the Constitution of the country is protected. "If we want to make Pakistan stable, we will have to ensure that the Constitution is preserved and the rule of law prevails.

"PPP jiyalas want this puppet of a prime minister to go home," he said, adding that his party had been insisting since February 27 that the no-confidence motion would succeed.

"We asked him to face the vote of no-confidence, but this coward was not ready to do that. Our jiyalas will fight against all undemocratic elements in the country," he said.

Bilawal also said that irrespective of the decision of the Supreme Court, Imran Niazi won't be able to survive in the world of politics.

PM Imran questions why Opposition approached SC after elections were announced

Prime Minister Imran Khan questioned the Opposition, asking why they approached the Supreme Court (SC) after fresh elections were announced.

His remarks came while holding a live Q&A session on Monday, during which he criticised the Opposition for running away from the elections, saying that the Opposition is scared of PTI's popularity.

“When elections were announced, what is the Opposition doing in the Supreme Court? The Opposition wants an NRO II,” he said in his opening remarks.

The premier said the country will never move towards development unless Parliament has people who actually think about the country's betterment.

"We will give tickets to people with vision this time. We did not know how to contest in elections [earlier], but now we do," the PM said.

PM Imran Khan said that forming a government by buying members is a negation of democracy. He went on to say the Opposition has been saying for three and a half years that the government has failed and that the government is "selected".

“We have now announced the election at the request of the Opposition," he added.

He said that there are corruption cases against them and they want NRO II.

Talking about the external conspiracy to overthrow the government, the PM asked the people to protest outside the Red Zone today.

PTI proposes ex-CJP Gulzar Ahmed as caretaker prime minister

The Core Committee of PTI has proposed the name of former chief justice Gulzar Ahmed as the caretaker prime minister, ex-information and law minister Fawad Chaudhry said Monday.

The proposal of Gulzar — who laid down his robes on February 1, 2022 — comes after President Arif Alvi had sent letters to Prime Minister Imran Khan and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif to seek suggestions for the appointment of a caretaker prime minister.

In case the two politicians can't reach a consensus over one name within three days, each one of them will send two names to the parliamentarian committee responsible for appointing a caretaker prime minister.

The eight-member parliamentary committee, comprising National Assembly and Senate members, with equal representation from the government and Opposition, will be formed by the NA speaker.
