Imran Khan Presides Over First PTI Parliamentary Board Meeting After Losing No-Confidence Vote

Imran Khan maintained his "external conspiracy" charges on Twitter on Sunday, claiming that today marks the start of a new war for independence.

New Delhi: Imran Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), presided over his party's first parliamentary board meeting since the Pakistani Parliament deposed him in a vote of no confidence in the early hours of Sunday, news agency ANI reported.

In the 342-member lower house of parliament, 174 MPs voted in favour of the opposition parties' no-confidence motion, making him Pakistan's first Prime Minister to lose a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly.

“A meeting of the party’s parliamentary board is underway under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Imran Khan,” the Official Twitter account of ‘Imran Khan Today’ tweeted.

Imran Khan maintained his "external conspiracy" charges on Twitter on Sunday, claiming that today marks the start of a new war for independence.

“Pakistan became an independent state in 1947, but today is the beginning of a renewed struggle for independence against an external conspiracy to change power. It is always the people of a country who protect and defend their sovereignty and democracy,” he tweeted.

According to Pakistan's Samaa, the PTI has agreed to submit en masse resignations to the National Assembly. Fawad Chaudry, a former Pakistani federal minister, has stated that the PTI will begin a campaign against the incoming administration.

In Pakistan, no Prime Minister has ever served for the whole five-year term.

The vote took place in the early hours of Sunday, following a high-profile political drama in the National Assembly, which saw the Supreme Court overrule the Deputy Speaker's decision to reject an opposition-sponsored no-confidence resolution against the governing PTI-led coalition.

Imran Khan attempted to link the opposition's attempt to unseat him via a no-trust vote with a "foreign plot," mentioning the US in many addresses. The US, on the other hand, dismissed his claims.

Imran Khan has also urged people to come to the streets, while the combined opposition has remained committed to defeating him.
