No-confidence motion against PM Imran Khan: NA session adjourned till 12:30pm

Despite the PTI government’s hectic efforts to avoid voting on the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, the historic session of the National Assembly to decide his fate began on Saturday at 10:30 am. Shortly afterwards, however, Speaker Asad Qaiser decided to adjourn the session for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

At the beginning of the session, the speaker allowed the Leader of the Opposition Shahbaz Sharif to begin his speech. But as soon as he started speaking, several of the 151 PTI MNAs present in the house started interrupting his speech by chanting slogans. 

Shahbaz told the speaker to conduct the session as per the order of the Supreme Court and added that today, the Opposition will oust the "selected" prime minister by adopting a lawful and constitutional procedure. 

At this, the speaker interjected a remark and said that the house should hold a discussion about the "foreign conspiracy" hatched against the PTI government. In response, the PML-N president stood up and reminded Qaiser that he is "duty-bound to follow the orders of the Supreme Court."
