The video discusses the political crisis in Pakistan, specifically the ousting of Prime Minister Imran Khan from power. The narrative begins with the historical context of Pakistan's political landscape, highlighting the fact that no Prime Minister has completed a full 5-year term. The video then moves to the 2018 General Elections, where Imran Khan's party, PTI, won 155 seats, forming a government with the help of small parties and independent parties.
However, the government faced challenges, including the loss of the Finance Minister's Senate seat, which was won by a PDM candidate. This led to calls for Imran Khan to resign. Despite this, Imran Khan managed to secure a majority in a Voluntary Vote of Confidence.
The opposition, however, presented a demand for a No-Confidence vote against Imran Khan on 8th March. This led to the arrest of opposition politicians by the Islamabad Police. The opposition protested against the government, and Imran Khan's party members started revolting against him.
On 3rd April, the day the Vote of Confidence was supposed to be held in the Assembly, Imran Khan didn't appear before the National Assembly. He invoked Article 5 of Pakistan's Constitution, stating that a No-Confidence vote is illegal if there's an involvement of foreign powers. However, the Supreme Court passed a unanimous verdict stating that the actions of Imran Khan's government were unconstitutional. The fresh elections being called for were declared null and void by them.
On 9th April, the day of the Vote of Confidence, Imran Khan's government lost the vote, and he became the first Prime Minister in Pakistan to be ousted by a No-Confidence Vote. The Supreme Court acted independently, there was no interference from the army, and the Prime Minister was removed constitutionally. It's said that Shehbaz Sharif can be the next Prime Minister of Pakistan.
