Pakistan National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri on Sunday dismissed a no-trust motion against embattled Prime Minister Imran Khan, terming it against Article 5 of the Constitution.
Suri chaired the crucial session after opposition parties filed a no-confidence motion against Speaker Asad Qaiser.
Minutes after that ruling, Khan addressed the nation and said that he has advised President Arif Alvi to dissolve the National Assembly and call for fresh elections.
The President has now dissolved the country's National Assembly.
