PTI Leaders Call it a Black Day while Government Figures Celebrate Toppling the Regime
On April 9-10, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) consisting of PPP, PML-N, and JUI-F, announced their intention to move a no-confidence motion against the incumbent Prime Minister Imran Khan. During a National Assembly session, the opposition’s no-confidence motion succeeded an hour past midnight on April 10, with 174 members out of the 342 voting in favor of the motion, leading to the end of Imran Khan’s prime ministerial term. Imran Khan became the first prime minister in Pakistan’s history to be ousted through a VONC.
In a video address marking one year since his ouster, Imran criticized the incumbent government, lambasting the federal cabinet for conspiring to create disagreements and division between the Supreme Court judges. He launched his “Haqeeqi Azaadi” movement against the coalition government, which he called a “jihad” against injustice.
He also shed light on how well the issue of terrorism was handled during his tenure as the PTI government, saying that airlines such as British Airways had resumed their operations and tourism was on the rise. Imran also spoke about the current economy and how the value of the rupee had fallen by more than Rs100 since the ouster of his government.
The no-confidence vote against Imran Khan was a major turning point in Pakistan’s political history. The vote, which was successful due to the support of lawmakers from the PTI, marked the end of Imran Khan’s term as prime minister. The opposition parties accused Imran Khan of poor governance and failing to deliver on his promises to the people of Pakistan.
Imran Khan, on the other hand, alleged that he was ousted through a foreign conspiracy, but later retracted this claim. He launched his “Haqeeqi Azaadi” movement against the coalition government, which he called a “jihad” against injustice.
Since his ouster, Imran Khan has been a vocal critic of the incumbent government. He has accused the government of destroying institutions, such as parliament, and cracking down on opposition parties. Imran Khan has also criticized the government’s handling of the economy, saying that the value of the rupee has fallen by more than Rs100 since his government was ousted.
Despite the challenges, Imran Khan remains a popular figure in Pakistan, and his party, the PTI, continues to have a strong presence in the country’s politics. The one-year anniversary of his ouster has reignited debate and discussion about the events leading up to his removal, as well as the current state of Pakistan’s political landscape.
