se. Here is a quick rundown on the crisis.Last week, Mr Khan lost his parliamentary majority following the defection of allies from his government and a no-confidence vote, scheduled for Sunday , was set to see him removed from office.
Mr Khan himself said the opposition was colluding with the US and the West for"regime change" because he did not wish to join hands with them against China and Russia. Washington has denied any interference. But the opposition cried foul, alleging that the former cricket star's moves were unconstitutional, leading to hearings by the country's top court, which began on Monday.All eyes are now on Pakistan's Supreme Court as it deliberates on the constitutionality of the no-confidence vote being declared unmaintainable and dissolution of Parliament.
Incidentally, Mr Khan appears to have lost the favour of Pakistan's powerful military whose backing swept him into power three years ago. The army has staged multiple coups since the country achieved independence, and has ruled it for over three decades. But it has not waded into the current crisis yet.
