New Delhi: Ahead of a no-confidence motion against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, the PM said that he will not “resign under any circumstances” on Wednesday, reported Geo News. 

Despite the Opposition laying out all of their cards, the no-confidence motion against him would not be successful, the PM said while conversing with journalists. 

“I will not resign under any circumstances. I will play till the last ball and I will surprise them a day before as they are still under pressure,” Khan said without revealing any further details. 

Session for the no-confidence motion has been summoned by National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser on March 25 — and in line with the NA rules, the voting has to take place after three and within seven days, reported Geo News.

"My trump card is that I have not laid any of my cards yet," said Imran Khan confidently, as he vowed to foil the no-trust motion.

"No one should be under the false impression that I will sit at home. I will not resign, and why should I? Should I resign due to the pressure from thieves?" he said further.

PM Khan also reiterated that till date he has good relations with the military. He said that continuously criticising and attacking the Army is wrong as a powerful military is crucial for the country. "Had the army not been here, the country would have split into three parts," he said. 

"The army should not be criticised for politicking," he said.
