Pakistan PM Khan says he will not resign ahead of no-confidence move

[superadmin]

ISLAMABAD (March 24): Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said he will not resign, rejecting opposition calls to step down ahead of a no-confidence move against him in his toughest challenge since coming to power in 2018.

Pakistan's parliament will convene on Friday to start proceedings into the no-confidence motion, which could take seven days to actually go for voting to decide whether Khan will be removed.

The no-confidence move has risked constitutional, administrative, and economic crises amid a pending International Monetary Fund review to issue the next tranche of a US$6 billion rescue package, which was scheduled this week but has yet to happen.
