In his interview yesterday, Imran Khan nullified and dismissed this entire narrative. He said that Article 6 now applies to Imran Khan 200 percent. He demanded Immediate action under Article 6 not only against Imran Khan but also the then Deputy Speaker National Assembly Qasim Suri and President Arif Alvi for violating the constitution.
He said that the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly had rejected the no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister under its unconstitutional ruling by waving a copy of the cipher in the National Assembly by bulldozing the Constitution. He said that after 10 minutes, news had flashed that Prime Minister Imran Khan had dissolved the National Assembly.
He said that President Arif Alvi was probably sitting on a chair at the door of the President’s House, as soon as he received summary / advice of dissolution from the Prime Minister’s House, he (president) approved it. Imran Khan is a national criminal. Now it is necessary for the federal government to immediately initiate action against Imran Khan, President Arif Alvi and Qasim Suri under Article 6. ‘This is a matter of rule of law and we all take an oath to uphold the constitution, ‘ he added.
