Monday, 4 April 2022 (12:04 IST)
Pakistan politics saw high drama on Sunday. In a surprising move, the no-confidence motion against the Imran Khan-led PTI government was rejected by the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly. Minutes after that, Imran Khan announced that he has asked the president to dissolve the assembly and called for fresh elections.
Earlier on the day, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan sacked Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar and appointed Omar Sarfaraz Cheema as the new Governor.
Now, a video from Pakistan went viral on social media, where women MLAs can be seen shoving and fighting with each other inside the Punjab Assembly. Even one male member also steps in to stop others from getting involved in the scuffle right inside the House.
Imran Khan has been claiming for some time now that there is a foreign conspiracy to overthrow his government and that a very "big power" is behind the move and which has been financing the entire thing.
Now, on Monday Pak PM has named US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu as the American official who has been making 'threats' towards him and his government, Dawn reported.
