Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari has said that he would welcome Prime Minister Imran Khan when the latter becomes the Opposition Leader in the National Assembly.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court of Pakistan declared the National Assembly deputy speaker ruling rejecting the no-confidence motion unconstitutional. The court has also restored the National Assembly that was dissolved by President Arif Alvi on advice of Imran Khan, declaring the decision to dissolve the assembly unconstitutional. The voting on the no-trust motion will take place on April 9, the Supreme Court ordered, asking the speaker to call the session at 10.30 AM on Saturday.
In a statement, Zardari said that following Shehbaz Sharif’s election as the prime minister, Imran Khan will become the opposition leader. “I will welcome him,” he added.
The former president also expressed the hope that Imran Khan will play a democratic role in his capacity as the opposition leader.
