The Pakistan government issued a notification announcing that Imran Khan no longer holds the position of Prime Minister of the country.

A three-member bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandyal started hearing the petitions filed against the ruling of Deputy Speaker in which he turned down the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Army has denied its role in the prevailing political situation. “The army has absolutely nothing to do with what happened in the National Assembly today,” said Military spokesman Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar.
