The reactions come after the no-trust motion against the Pakistan Prime Minister was dismissed by the Deputy Speaker. Later, in a short address to the nation, Imran Khan has urged Pakistanis to "be ready for elections." "The plot to destabilise this administration has failed," he continued.
Pakistan People's Party leader Bilawal Bhutto has reacted angrily to the decision to dismiss the no-confidence motion against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. According to Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari, the administration breached the Constitution by not allowing voting on the no-confidence motion.
"The unified opposition will not leave the House of Commons. Our attorneys are on their way to the Supreme Court. We urge ALL institutions to maintain, support, defend, and execute Pakistan's Constitution," he added.

The government's decision, according to Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, is a "blatant breach" of the Constitution and the regulations. "The Supreme Court cannot and should not be a bystander. The top justice should enter the bench immediately and save the country from a constitutional catastrophe!," he added.
What the govt has done today is blatant violation of the constitution and the rules. Supreme Court cannot and should not sit by as a mere spectator. Chief Justice should immediately take to the bench and save the country from a constitutional crisis!

It is nothing short of a high treason. IK has pushed the country into anarchy. Niazi & his cohort will not be allowed to go scot-free. There will be consequences for blatant & brazen violation of the Constitution. Hope SC will play it's role to uphold the Constitution.
