"If a person has no future intentions, he will have immediate worries." According to a report by Observer.com on April 10, the Pakistan National Assembly voted to pass a distrust case against Prime Minister Imran Khan , which means that Imran became the first prime minister in Pakistan history to be impeached by the National Assembly and immediately stepped down. Just a week ago, Pakistani opposition leader Shabaz Sharif and a group of opposition MPs filed a case of distrust of Prime Minister Imran to the National Assembly, but before the voting process was even entered, it was rejected by Deputy Speaker Suri. Imran immediately announced the "dissolution of the parliament" and "should a general election in advance."
Since the National Assembly has been "disbanded" and the vote has been rejected, why did Imran be "impeached" and step down? The reason is very simple. First, the opposition party led by Shabaz sued Prime Minister Imran and Deputy Speaker Suri to the Supreme Court of Pakistan, demanding that the court rule that Imran’s decision to “dissolute the parliament” and Suri’s “veto the vote” was “illegal”, and the Pakistani Supreme Court supported the opposition’s complaints, so the originally dissolved National Assembly “resuming the meeting”, and the “voting of no confidence” against Prime Minister Imran eventually entered the voting process, and Deputy Speaker Suri “is not allowed to stop it.”
Secondly, the opposition coalition led by Shabaz is very strong. Originally, the opposition party led by Shabaz occupied 169 seats in the National Assembly, and the National Assembly had only 342 seats in total. Shabaz only needed to attract a few more supporters to easily exceed half. Therefore, this time the opposition coalition passed the "vote of no confidence" for Imran with 174 votes. It is precisely because he "knows deeply" the strength of the opposition that Prime Minister Imran decided to "disband the parliament" and "carry out the general election in advance". Doing so is also a "trial to the death". Even if he is not good, he can "resign with a decent step".
Finally, the Pakistani military stood on the side of the opposition. The "source" of the earthquake in Pakistan's political arena is actually in the United States. On the eve of the opposition's impeachment, Prime Minister Imran accused the United States of "interference in Pakistan's internal affairs" because American officials privately told Pakistani personnel that as long as Imran's regime is overthrown, US-Pakistan relations can be improved, and the US anger against Pakistan "will disappear." Imran publicly accuses the United States, while Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Bayiwa made a high-profile call for strengthening relations with the United States, saying that the U.S.-Pakistan relations are "good and strategic."
The power of the Pakistani opposition is not a day or two. Why did it not "force the palace" before, and only then did it take a chance? On the one hand, it is because Imran has deep support from the people, is self-disciplined, honest and dedicated, and there are no scandals, and the opposition is "not easy to start"; on the other hand, the timing is not right. As long as the military supports the legitimate Imran regime, the opposition's "coup" is destined to not succeed. Now the military wants to destroy Imran and the Supreme Court also wants to destroy Imran. The conditions for "forcing the palace" have been ripe, so I will drive Imran out of the Prime Minister's Office without waiting for the election.
So the question is, why does Pakistan overthrow Imran and even give him the opportunity to "early election"? It is mainly affected by the drastic changes in the international situation. Simply put, Russia is deeply trapped in the Ukrainian battlefield, losing troops and losing heavy losses. In order to fight against the United States, China and Russia are winning over India and jointly building the "China, Russia and India strategic triangle." Therefore, India has now become a "hot commodity" between China and Russia, and Pakistan is deeply threatened by India. In such a situation, it naturally has to consider its own security and interests, so it intends to "take over the United States to respect itself" and "induce the United States to enter the market."
The United States also intends to borrow Pakistan to give India a little color, so the two sides "stroke it right away", but in the end, Pakistan "has a demand" for the United States, so the United States put forward conditions that if we want to improve US-Pakistan relations, "Imran must step down."So everyone can see that the military wants to "kill" Imran, the Supreme Court of Pakistan also wants to "kill" Imran, and the opposition even more wants to "kill" Imran. Imran's "pro-China" and "anti-Western" characteristics have become a "stumbling block" for Pakistan to restore relations with the United States. For "national interests", Imran "must sacrifice".
It should be pointed out that Imran still has a large number of supporters in Pakistan. After Imran was removed, there were constant demonstrations supporting Imran in Pakistan. The "Pakistan Justice Movement Party" (PTI) where Imran was located announced that all members of parliament resigned in protest. However, it should be pointed out that there was a division within the PTI, and some party members refused to resign from parliament, so Prime Minister Imran's resignation could not be changed in fact.
