all sorts of possible scenarios as him run con, said that he's going to fight tooth and nail and will not resign. but in the end, his parliament, the speaker did resign, did not go for the vote, and a new speaker conducted this look and an unsuitable yes and do yet another prime minister in pakistan, if you speak to supporters of a man, hon. that angry, they're disappointed, and they say that this is an international conspiracy against iran. con ukraine is preparing for major fighting in the east of the countries. thousands of people leave low hands ahead of an expected russian attack. many have been evacuated from the town of chroma. tor square, more than 50 people were killed on friday and a strike on a railway station. okay, that's a headline coming up next in size story. ah

moccasins, political crisis deepened. the prime minister's opponents pushed to remove him from office. but him on con, blames a foreign conspiracy. how did pakistan get to this point? and what will the fall out mean for the countries? this is inside story. ah. hello and welcome to the program. i'm hammer, jim, jim. it's one of the biggest tests in the career, a former cricket star turn pakistan's prime minister imran con. he tried to delay

a vote in parliament to oust him. but his opponents say the tides been turning against him for some time. impede, met to debate his fate. after the supreme court ruled cons attempt to dissolve parliament and call new elections was unconstitutional. opposition. members accuse him of failing to root out corruption and fixed the struggling economy. but con says there's a us backed conspiracy to remove him. he hasn't provided any evidence, and washington denies the allegations con is refusing to recognise an opposition government and has urged his supporters to protest. but some avenge of aid has more from the capital islamabad. never a dull moment they say in pakistan's politics assembly, which was dissolved by the president, held its session, the parliament members who were part of the party santeria, king of england, hahn's government are all set to vote against him and a session which was ordered to have taken place and continue only with an agenda of a vote. seems to be taking a long time. have you been speaking to politician from both the government and the

opposition? this impetus of trying to oust iran contra main. the foreign conspiracy and what opposition mp say, is that that's a joke and not be carried on. there's only one decision that there is a constant use no confidence in the parliament against, against the prime minister, according to the democratic knowns, and rules and gone. the only only thing that in on has to face today is that no one, no confidence would tend to be ousted by both my democracy in despite the opposition benches insisting the government is holding it's 40 saying that this is an issue with the opposition told the court that it dot did not debated, did not get a chance to debate the vote on the floor of the house. and here our government empties, giving them a chance to rave their opinions and discuss it. why am ron han needs to go and narrative that we didn't allow that to be to happen? they didn't want to meet. they wanted to like the board, but that means the it is the following. the supreme court, the current case,

which is on an article $63.00, if they decide on the article 6th, $3.00 money that he has members who have decided not to work with con, i'm therefore defective in advance is to hold what happened to the florida supreme court. judgement come to find to rush to walk. and while this debate goes on in the national assembly, the reason pakistan his hair is because in the last 3 and a half years, all the tall promises that were made during the campaign by name ron hahn came to power have not been fulfilled. there is rising inflation, the ruby is losing its value that these economy seems to be smiling downwards. and more importantly, the powerful military establishment in pakistan seems to be no longer supporting him round hand, which the acquisition from the opposition is that a man, hon only came to power with their backing and they are now playing a neutral rule. all eyes on this important and historic session of the national assembly and according to court orders. before this session is over,

there has to be a vote of no confidence. and there must be a new leader of the house. and that is going to be decided once the vote takes place for inside story. i'm some of in java. all right, let's take a look at how m ron con, got to this point. the cost of living is high in pakistan, with food prices up by 23 percent since the beginning of the pandemic. opposition parties blame con for the economic turmoil and growing foreign debt. fresher, came to a head when enron cons close ally than what died. economy movement party, quit his government and switch sides before the no confidence vote. reducing his majority in the assembly. his relationship with the army is also shaky, with differences over foreign policy decisions. ah, are i? let's go ahead and bring in our guests in raw pin d and pakistan. sarah said, adjunct assistant professor at re far international university in london, isis, a deaker senior fellow in the department of war studies at kings college,

london. and in washington, d. c. foreigners is bonnie rider and former member of the national assembly of pakistan. a warm welcome to you all. thanks so much for joining us today on inside story. sorry, let me start with you today. just how volatile is the political situation in pakistan right now. thank you for having me. right. know the political up here. what is going on in hockey at present? you know, the new confidence, our prime minister is facing a prime minister pocket on, you know, just the present time to do the national assembly. but that, you know, the decision as to why it's called the pocket time yesterday to be the facing of you're looking for what, how it's going to work. on the facts, fax,

actually grounds. we can see that the opposition is having the desired number of people with how to be foreign as a how long has the tied been turning against enron con well, most of us who consider ourselves democrats would see right from the beginning. we consider mister han not to be elected prime minister box bomb. you've always been referred to as a selective prime minister by phone because he was brought in by the aid of the military establish lunch. but however, the opposition parties have for the sake of democracy,

played ball the remainder of the game. and where we are today is literally just democracy work. the former prime minister didn't have the book. he tried to violate the constitution. it went to the supreme court and of the supreme court declared that mister han actions were unconstitutional and demanded that a vote of no confidence be carried out in parliament. and that is what we are watching right now. i should how much tension is there right now? between enron con, and the military. see, there are no clear answers to your question, but if i could just add one more piece of information, what we've seen this morning and you know, it's, it's this whole game of no conference motion. it is a prime minister in the way around con, government is trying to stop it,

delay postpone the action or postpone the inevitable, you know, in, in it against against government is, you know, right now the filibustering it there, filibustering in the parliament to try to delay on the surface of it, we see that there is a tension between military and an honor, which is the reason he know that they seem to have agreed to play the role of a neutral and politics where they didn't do. we hadn't done in 2018 elections, but you know, when i look at it, there is a very uncomfortable feeling. and we don't ask for evidence, but there is an uncomfortable feeling that the elements within the military within which continue to support on. and the reason i say that no evidence, because you can't produce such evidence, but what, when we come back the way on no, which, you know,

apparently the army chief no longer a supports him, a support supports his actions. but in case of previous governments lost faith with the military or who had had, you know, who had a dense relationship with the military we were treated much was, i mean, there would be so much propaganda against them. compare it with what con, associate the moment. there's hardly any propaganda against him. a few stories here and there of possible corruption, involvement and corruption. his wife's for the 1st lady involvement in corruptions, but nothing really as substantial as war. nevaeh sharif faced all other people's party government face, which makes me imagine or think that perhaps there is still some support ah, within the military. definitely. he was

a popular candidate with the military, ideologically, that couldn't have been more aligned with any political leader than they are with him round from sarah. i wanna take a step back and look at the economic situation right now and focus on on thursday. the pakistani rupee fell to an all time low against the us dollar. but on friday, markets open on a positive note because there was this hope that the political crisis might be ending soon. how much worse could the economic situation get in pakistan if this political crisis is not resolved soon? oh, actually we can't see that. that's all of because of the current political disturbances actually when the last government went, the pakistan was facing a boy at that time on so much right now it has just emerged and opposition has

a strict stance. we have just one point of inflation and yes, there is no prizes and there are a lot of you know, we can see that a little for prices and raised in everything that we can see back to price. even the daily, you know, and estes, are very expensive of work on that to afford that all. but it is going to be like the same because the stability will come with the passage of time. but some needs are stable economic plan at the movement because it's a little disturbance and need a deal more difficult for pakistan to survive. so we are looking forward for this new function of blooming and we're looking forward for the early elections because of a need in a stable good. when we look at the new past,

you can see that the pakistan always pays to, you know, at the store a typo. political disturbance is one of the 3 prime ministers in pakistan where even too late for us to not even 5 years in which we can see the use of exactly lonnie and of us. sure. even 2032070. and now the plan is just, you know, complete it is a, you know, the same pattern is being, you know, implemented even the key the last year. it seems like that is asked, you know, the political parties just now, you know, in a book together and just, you know, and make a smooth pass for your upcoming elections. so it seems like that i've been looking at the different atmosphere, the political atmosphere, and then the early elections are going to be in brightest star, i think. so that is going to be the me a solution or the crisis plan today,

or i'm sorry, in 0950. i'm sorry to interrupt you, but you bring up the topic of, of potentially early elections. and i do want to ask for, and i was about that a foreign us. what's the earliest that elections could happen going forward? well, i speak to reason why mister ron fun has done the last. magic's, if he wants the election, he wants to be seen as the mob thrown out of office and then he expects his followers will turn up and boots into office again. but what i am reading at the moment is if he continues down this far off, ignoring the supreme court, you know, ruling and behaving in this undergraduate autocratic way. i think we may end up with some kind of

a crafting government. let me remain for much longer because let's be honest, what she has done to the economy of like fund i was recently a bike spawn. i have never seen the cost of living and the cost of people who are not sitting in the capital of the 70 we're living in could actually an interior of the sector. it has, it's quite rendered. it is terrifying what he has done to bike fund foreign policy . the u. s. has been a biggest it gave. now he's a jews the us of the conspiracy, terry, of trying to remove him from office secret, which nobody has seen. he has created a political capital matching economic crisis like

a voice we have never seen. so you asked me about elections if he continues down this far, he doesn't accept the ruling of the supreme court today allows the opposition, you know, a dr. sorry, i just said so incorrect and many people don't realize this black son is not a presidential system in a parliamentary democracy. the minute the opposition as the numbers, they can choppy any government. it happened in the u. k. it happened anyway. that's what a little to no consequences, but so not government comes into the term of 5 years. this is something where i feel people don't understand the bike funding system of government. so to actions, i'm skeptical at leslie agency. i sure you heard foreigners or talk about this conspiracy, but him are on con,

is talking about he's been blaming the us for a conspiracy to to get him an unseated. of course, the u. s. denies this. does the public and pakistan believe this? okay, again let me go back to a couple of things which you questions. you'd ask see the other speakers firstly i economy had started to recover on to focus on was recently starting this year hit by inflation and very bad inflation. that january was 11 percent today it is 15 point one percent and that inflation really hits people on. the other thing is that even if elections are to be held, he is promised 90 days, but due to technical structure reasons, they can be held in 90 days. because one of the election commission of pakistan announces elections, it needs

a minimum of 4 to 5 months to allow for the limitation of constituencies. there are new districts that have been made by him around government. and if you go by the 2017 election lecture act, which was consolidating all the rules that existed so far election, then it seems very clear that nothing before 5 to 6 months. yes, i mean, the other option, of course is that somehow a national government is installed, but the question is, who will install the government in the parliamentary procedures do not allow for it . so no confidence motion has to go for me. not really has to wreck the country to ensure that no force me force military is hand military itself. i mean, there have been now judgment supreme court judgments against of emergencies bought by the military,

highlighting the anyone who was that the constitution isn't great. that's another ball game. totally. another thing. now, to your question about what happens with, you know, with this conspiracy, you know, various, the simple answer to that is that this conspiracy is actually, it actually is popular among on the streets. and one of the reasons that he is on stern glee, all referring to the conspiracy. american conspiracy is d as 2 reasons. one increases popularity amongst people. and secondly, it increases popularity amongst the 1st and 2nd tier military offices. oh, i mean going, i'm sure i'm, i'm sorry, gosh, i'm sorry to interrupt you. we're, we're just starting to, we're just starting to run out of time. i'm sorry. let me ask you, what do you expect that enron cons next move might be. we can see that by the number opposition indicating that they have 176,

the a assembly. and i got me, he's going to declare the next election, a national assembly. if you're going to a few minutes by mr. glass, then you know the next election, he can't stay here. otherwise he will have to leave the seat. and he has to appoint a place to rent the country. and so at the moment it is a very difficult to say. and what is going to happen is all dependent. and if you're just looking at a good scenario, what's going to happen? a foreigners do you think that we might see a concerted effort from here on out to try and improve pakistan's relationship with the us? is that something that's in the cards going forward? well, you know, ever since spike phone was founded off,

found like 2 kids found a come on other are found. mr. jenna. the 1st thing he did was send someone to washington d. c. because he understood, even though we were situated all the way in south asia, that the u. s. relationship was what we need it. unlike indian, its relationship with russian wanting to be not non aligned box on all was wanted to be aligned with the us by that i mean bike son's military and was like some to governments that is not the feeling in the street. but i do believe that the permanent establishment in pike san does understand that they have to rescue ah, the. ringback relationship, not just that the us with a lot of european countries who have really become quite tired of this drama and

they realize they don't want an unstable like sun. so let's see going forward. i hope mister han to day except the boat and goes willingly if he doesn't, i'm afraid that might be some of the measures which may be undemocratic. i sure member on con has said that he refuses to recognise an opposition government um and he has also urged his supporters to command protest. do you think that his supporters are going to be coming out on to the streets and staging protests in the days ahead? i don't think that he is going to get hundreds and thousands of people out of the streets. not one good, consolidated, jest, but definitely what i can see is much more, you know, chaos within the society. i mean, already, society is very divided. his, his supporters are extremely aggressive. i mean, recently we saw his m b a is

a member of provincial assembly in sin, hanging effigies of opposition, party leaders. i mean, how horrible was the site and now horrible is this idea. i mean, and they are so aggressive, they're ready to are, you know, do to punish physically punish opposition. leaders in london itself, where you have rule of law in the last one week, they're repeat stuart tax physical attacks on a series. no, no one of ashley's and then one of the taxes. his guards were seriously injured and this is by video supporters. so just imagine what they are capable of doing in back a son. i don't think he has ever trained his party to do politics. so you know, progress of that kind. i mean the, the progress that he held earlier in 2017 while with the army. but this time they're going, there's going to be more aggression. that is my, my,

my main worry. and i think that is what the bought off a lot of the world good looks at back up and really has begun to be like a basket gate. i sure we have less than a minute left. i just want to ask you very quickly, how much concern is there in parks on right now about how, how large this constitutional crisis could get? well, i see that we are standing at a point out at, you know, one of the dilemma where somebody force, which is the armies for hand a secret can, can force something out. i think this is a serious crisis and it can, you know, it will eventually we're, we're at a point when there is a resolution because the supreme court to its intervention, something has to be done. well, we have run out of time. so we're going to have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much for all of our guests. ira i said i should have decor and foreigners is behind it. and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time
