In Pakistan, the crisis between government and parliament is coming to a head. The deputy speaker of parliament on Sunday withdrew a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Imran Khan. The scheduled vote is against the constitution, he said. Khan himself said on television that he had asked the president to dissolve parliament. He called on the population to prepare for early elections.
According to its leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the opposition has announced an urgent appeal to the constitutional court against the overturn of the no-confidence vote. In addition, the opposition is starting a sit-in in parliament. Khan, 69, is facing increasing criticism in Pakistan over the economic situation. In addition, his main ally has left the governing coalition.

He spoke of a foreign conspiracy to disprove him. Several anti-American protests erupted after the statements. The Washington government has denied the allegations.
Political observers said Khan was elected prime minister in 2018 with the support of Pakistan’s very powerful military. Later, he lost favor with the generals due to various disputes. Khan denies ever being promoted by the military.
