Pakistan's Deputy Attorney General Raja Khalid has already resigned. He claimed that the conduct of the government was ultimately unconstitutional. In his words, "what happened is possible only in the time of a dictator."Imran was at first in trouble when the allies withdrew their support from the ruling government. After that a part of his own party left him and the situation became unfavorable for him. Imran did not have the required 162 votes to prevent mistrust. For this reason, it was thought that his ouster was almost certain in the event of a vote.
Recently, a leading Pakistani newspaper wrote, "Imran's departure is imminent."However, Imran urged his supporters to take to the streets to prevent mistrust in the situation. On the other hand, members of Imran's party gathered in front of the Speaker's Dias in Parliament and chanted slogans against the opposition, saying, "Those who are friends of America are enemies of Pakistan." In this situation, the Deputy Speaker rejected the motion of no confidence. Opposition MPs are so surprised that most of them are sitting in chairs.Military rule again?
Opponents allege that Imran failed to revive the economy and failed to eradicate corruption. As a result, he is not fit to stay in power.

In the meantime, Washington has denied the allegations.Opposition groups called for a boycott of the by-elections, saying "Imran Khan came to power in 2016 with the support of Pakistan's powerful military." Now the shadow of the military has lifted from his head. Although neither side has acknowledged the matter.
