Pakistan crisis: Parliament’s crucial session underway, Shehbaz Sharif prime candidate for next PM
Pakistan’s parliament adjourned on Saturday, delaying a no-confidence motion that could oust Prime Minister Imran Khan, days after his allies blocked a similar measure.
Lawmakers will reconvene at 12:30 pm (0730 GMT), said Speaker Asad Qaisar.
Heavy security has been deployed outside the Pakistan National Assembly in Islamabad ahead of the no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government, which is slated to be taken up in the House shortly.
