It’s a stroke, but it is not certain that the maneuver saves Pakistan Prime Minister. While the deputies had, Sunday, April 3, to examine a motion of censure deposited by the opposition, intended to bring him down, the vice-president of the National Assembly, Qasim Suri, one of his faithful, refused of the Enter the vote, declaring the motion contrary to the constitution, for supported by a “foreign power”.
Imran Khan knows that he lost his majority, part of his allies and members of his own training that has joined the opposition. He maintains that he is the victim of an international conspiracy, conducted by the Americans, who want his departure.
A few minutes later, in an address to the nation, Imran Khan announced that he asked the President of the Republic to dissolve the National Assembly and organize advance general elections. “No corrupt force will decide on the future of the country. The people decide who he wants to power,” he said.
To relegitize in the ballot box
In the wake, the President of the Republic, Arif Alvi, dissolved the Lower House of Parliament. The Prime Minister should ship current affairs until the vote holding by ninety days, one year before the normal deadline. The general elections were planned for the spring of 2023. The opposition will seize the Supreme Court. “We will remember this date like a black day in the constitutional history of Pakistan,” said Shahbaz Sharif, Head of the Muslim League of Pakistan (PML-N) and Favorite to replace Imran Khan if successful of the motion of censorship.
Imran Khan, 69, elected in 2018, hopes to relegitize in the ballot box. The operation is risky. ELU with the support of the military on the promise to revitalize the economy for the poor, create jobs for young people, put an end to endemic corruption, do not use external loans and improve the external image of the country, Imran Khan is in check. The country is weakened by a serious economic crisis, marked by record unemployment and inflation (more than 12% this year), especially on food and energy, a weakening of the rupee and an overwhelming debt. They also blame him for selling the country’s sovereignty at the IMF.
The poor and middle class suffer like never. Many of its ministers are involved in corruption cases and the indebtedness cycle has not been stopped. The Government of Mr. Khan concluded an agreement with the IMF, in May 2019, on a $ 6 billion aid program (5.38 billion euros).
