In a massive blow to Imran Khan, Pakistan's Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously struck down a controversial ruling by the deputy speaker on the rejection of a no-confidence motion against him and ordered restoration of the National Assembly, saying the Prime Minister's move to dissolve Parliament and call early elections was 'unconstitutional'.
The court ordered the speaker of the lower house to call the session of the national assembly on April 9 at 10 am (local time) to organise a no-confidence vote. It ordered the election of a new Prime Minister if the no-confidence motion succeeded.
The 193-member UN General Assembly on Thursday voted to adopt a draft resolution moved by the US to suspend Russia from the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council over allegations that Russian soldiers killed civilians while retreating from towns near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
Meanwhile, India again abstained on a crucial vote to suspend Russia asserting that if New Delhi has "chosen" any side, it is the side of "peace and it is for an immediate end to violence."
