Pakistan political crisis: Bilawal Bhutto to be next foreign minister of Pakistan?

Pakistan is a sovereign state, and we want to keep it that way.

The two sides met in the speaker's chamber and agreed to have proceedings without interruptions. Foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has assured that voting on the no-confidence motion will be held after 8pm.

A delegation of Pakistan Opposition leaders met with National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser in his chamber on Saturday and demanded immediate voting on the no-confidence motion that could seal the fate of embattled Prime Minister Imran Khan, following the adjournment of the session over ruckus in Parliament.

US State Department, for the fourth time, said there is absolutely no truth to these allegations.Deputy State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter, in a press conference on Friday, rejected Imran's accusations and stated, "Let me just say very bluntly there is absolutely no truth to these allegations. Of course, we continue to follow these developments, and we respect and support Pakistan's constitutional process and rule of law. But again, these allegations are not true."

Opposition members told not to fall for PTI's bait and contribute to chaos in the house.

The PTI might create chaos and provoke the opposition. If they take the bait, then the speaker might suspend a few opposition members. Then they might not have the numbers to oust Imran Khan in the trust vote.

The no-confidence motion is listed fourth on the day's agenda of the National Assembly. While the Opposition has come out in full force, very few members of the treasury benches were seen in attendance.

Speaker or deputy speaker, and members present might face contempt of court if the house does not conduct the vote by 10:30pm as per SC ruling. PM Imran Khan is not present in the house. So there will be no action against him.
