Emir Maulana Fazlur Rehman of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) stated on Thursday that the no-confidence resolution that removed former Prime Minister Imran Khan was tabled on the orders of ex-army head General (retired) Qamar Javed Bajwa.
In an interview on a private news channel, Fazl, the chief of the multi-party alliance Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) responsible for Khan’s removal, said: “I was personally against the no-confidence move […] but if I had said no despite the insistence of other parties, then an impression would’ve been given that I’saved’ the PTI founder.”
The PDM deposed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government in April 2022, and the multi-party alliance, led by Shehbaz Sharif, controlled the country for 16 months before giving over power to a caretaker administration.
