Ostensibly opposition feels it has won, but it’s not the case: Faisal

ISLAMABAD: Commenting on the opposition’s reaction to the Supreme Court’s verdict regarding dissolution of the National Assembly and rejection of the opposition’s no-confidence motion, Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Senator Faisal Javed Khan on Friday said apparently the opposition thought it had won, but it had not.

“They have lost. Sweets go waste again. Mark my words. Only time will tell, Insha Allah. The masses have decided,” Faisal Javed tweeted.

He said Prime Minister Imran Khan knew how to face challenges. The Kaptaan would make an important announcement on Friday evening (today), he said adding that the PM would never disappoint his people.

عمران خان کو چیلنجز کا سامنا کرنا آتا ہے-بظاہر اپوزیشن کو لگ رہا ہےکہ وہ جیت چکے ہیں مگر ایسا ہے نہیں- وہ ہار چکے ہیں-مٹھائی پھر ضائع-الفاظ یاد رکھیے گا-آنے والا وقت بتائے گا انشاء اللہ-قوم نے فیصلہ کرلیا ہے-کپتان آج شام ایک اہم اعلان کرینگے-وہ اپنی قوم کو کبھی مایوس نہیں کریں گے

Meanwhile, in his tweet, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhary Fawad Hussain also informed about the key events.

In a landmark judgment, the top court on April 7 termed the deputy speaker’s ruling conflicting to the constitution and restored the dissolved National Assembly.

The court nullified all the measures taken by Imran Khan and President Arif Alvi and said the speaker could not adjourn National Assembly’s session without voting on no-confidence motion.

The court ordered to call the legislature’s session on Saturday (April 9) for voting on no-confidence motion. It also ordered to keep the voting process free of impediments.
