In Focus by The Hindu Can Pakistan PM Imran Khan withstand the no-confidence motion against him? | In Focus
A little less than four years into his term, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan faces a make or break no-confidence motion against his government in the country’s parliament, or National Assembly on March 25. Nearly a dozen of his lawmakers, or MNAs as they are known, have announced a parting of ways with the Prime Minister. Mr. Khan’s Army backers appear to be taking a hands-off approach towards his continuing in office. Will he go or will he stay? That’s the central question in Pakistan’s national discourse currently. We discuss in this episode of In Focus podcast.
Guest: Mehmal Sarfraz, a Lahore-based journalist, who has contributed articles for The Hindu in the past.
