Former Prime Minister praises supporters for their support of the Supreme Court’s ruling.
(Infosette News ) Imran Khan, the Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said on Wednesday that he will address the country tonight to “show them our way forward for a sovereign Pakistan.”
The deposed former premier thanked the country on his official Twitter account for “coming out yesterday evening in support of the” apex court’s judgment, which he said upheld the law and the Constitution.
I want to thank the nation for coming out spontaneously last evening in support of the SC decision upholding Constitution & the Law. Tonight I will address our people at 10:00pm giving them our way forward for a sovereign Pakistan.

Tonight at 10:00 p.m., Imran will Deliver a speech.
His announcement came after the Supreme Court overturned Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Dost Muhammad Mazari’s decision on the election of Punjab chief minister, dealing a fatal blow to the newly formed Shehbaz Sharif-led ruling coalition and paving the way for the PTI’s choice Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi to take the throne in the nation’s political centre.

After more than three hours of delay, a three-member bench consisting of Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Ijazul Ahsan, and Justice Munib Akhtar pronounced an extremely harsh judgement at the conclusion of a hearing that had gripped the nation for the previous four days.
The top court stated in its 11-page brief order that “the government of the province of Punjab in conformity with the Constitution has been subverted whereby the fundamental rights of the people have been substantially infringed.”
The judgment stated, “As a result, Respondent No. 1 Deputy Speaker, Punjab Assembly’s ruling of July 22, 2022, is set aside and found to be void, without lawful authority, and of no legal effect.”
Consequently, Hamza Shehbaz of the PML-N lost his position as chief minister in “confidence.”
