Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan
PAKISTAN’S Prime Minister Imran Khan vowed to “fight to the last ball” today as the supreme court quashed his decision to dissolve parliament ahead of a vote of no confidence last week.
In a decision issued on Thursday, five judges ruled that the move made by parliament’s deputy speaker Qasim Suri last Sunday was “contrary to the constitution and the law.”
The lower house will sit today, when the no-confidence motion will be tabled, with the court saying the session must start no later than 10.30am.
