Pakistan political crisis: Imran Khan accused of taking 'nondemocratic step' | Namaste Bharat

On Sunday, Pakistan's ailing Prime Minister Imran Khan struck back by receiving presidential approval for the dissolution of Parliament, a move denounced by the Opposition as "unconstitutional." The latter has filed a petition with the Supreme Court to overturn the ruling. Following the dismissal of the no-confidence vote in the National Assembly, the Pakistan Supreme Court held a suo motu hearing on the subject later on Sunday, prohibiting all state institutions from pursuing any "extra-constitutional" actions. The case was tried by a three-judge panel led by Pakistan's Chief Justice, Justice Umar Ata Bandial.
