LONDON: Former prime minister and PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif reacted to the current situation in the country.
In his tweet on Sunday, Nawaz Sharif said that a man obsessed with power trampled on the Constitution today.
اقتدار کی ہوس میں ڈوبے ھوۓ جنونی شخص نے آج آئین کو پاؤں تلے روندا۔ اپنی انا کو ملک و قوم پر مقدم رکھنے والے عمران خان اور اس سازش میں ملوث تمام سازشی کردار سنگین غداری کے مجرم ہیں جن پر آرٹیکل 6 کا اطلاق ہوتا ہے۔ پاکستان کے ساتھ زیادتی اور آئین کی بے حرمتی کا حساب لیا جائے گا۔

He said that Imran Khan, who put his ego before the country and the nation, and all the conspirators involved in this conspiracy are guilty of serious treason to which Article 6 applies.
Nawaz said that abuse of Pakistan and desecration of the Constitution would be taken into account.
Earlier, National Assembly Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri has termed the no-trust motion as violation of the Constitution.
The Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, while rejecting the no-confidence motion, stopped the ruling and adjourned the sitting till March 25.
In a tumultuous session of the National Assembly chaired by Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri, Law Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that a meeting is held on March 7 and a no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister was presented on March 8 a day later.
Fawad Chaudhry said that our ambassador is summoned to a meeting on March 7, in which officials of other countries also sit. Our ambassador is informed that a no-confidence motion against Imran Khan is being filed. Until then no one in Pakistan knew that the no-confidence motion was coming.
