On the most recent hourly Iranian PressTV news bulletin, it was reported that a Pakistani supreme court has ruled as unconstitutional Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's order to dissolve parliament and call new elections. As previously reported in US Punishing 'Disobedient' Imran Khan for his Foreign Policy, says Russian Foreign Ministry (5/4/22), Sputnik News.
[Kremlin spokeswoman Maria] Zakharova pointed out that American officials had been exerting “rude pressure” on the Pakistani prime minister and gave him an “ultimatum” to interrupt his visit to Moscow on 23 to 24 February.
“When he did come to [Moscow], the US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu summoned Asad Majeed, the Pakistani ambassador to Washington, and demanded that the visit be immediately interrupted, which was also rejected,” she stated.
Zakharova then went on to cite the reported meeting between Majeed and Lu on 7 March. In the meeting, the American official warned the Pakistani envoy of “consequences” if Khan, as Prime Minister, survived the no-confidence motion.
The motion was tabled in the Pakistani National Assembly the next day, on 8 March, by Opposition leader Shahbaz Sharif, the leader of Pakistani Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N). She described the alleged US interference as a "shameless" attempt.
The Sputnik News report continued:
Zakharova also expressed the hope that Pakistani voters were “informed” about these circumstances when they cast their vote at the ballot box in the forthcoming election.
As shown here and in stories linked to below, the US attempted to make Prime Minister Imran Khan join up with other more compliant national leaders in its opposition to Russia's Special Military Operation which began in Ukraine on 4 February.
That Special Military Operation was to 'de-nazify' Ukraine, to protect Russian speakers in Lugansk and Donetsk Provinces, which have faced an 8 year war from the Kiev regime's Azov Battalion neo-nazi footsoldiers and to remove any US military infrastructure, including its bio-warfare facilites.
A number of members of Pakistan's parliament shamelessly chose to side with the US against Prime Minister Imran Khan and on 3 April withdrew from Prime Miniter Imran Khan's governing coalition to join the opposition. After the opposition tried to use its majority to move a no-confidence motion in Prime Minister Imran Kahn, Kahn dissolved parliamanent and announced new elections.
Whilst Imran Khan was not afraid to be held accountable to the people of Pakistan in a general election, the opposition, including the turncoats who had previously been in coalition with Prime Minister Imran Khan, clearly were afraid to face the people of Pakistan.
For now, the ruling by the Pakistan's supreme court has preserved the existence of that illegitimate Parliament, but given the evidence, Imran Khan's popularity within Pakistan, his charisma and international understanding of these events, an election will almost certainly be held soon and the people of Pakistan will prevail.

Imran Khan to address Pakistan tonight about attempted coup
Correection: i first erroneously wrote that the address was to occur at around midnight on Friday (Qld time, UTC+10), when, in fact, it was to occur around midnight on Saturday.
As Pakistan is 5 hours ahead of GMT, 'tonight' (presumably around 7pm in Islamabad) would be around midnight in Queensland, Australia, which is 10 hours ahead of GMT. Hopefully, there will be a video recording and a transcript of the address made available.

Imran Khan must continue to show resolve and skill to prevail
Thank you , Sheila.
Whilst Imran Khan has shown enormous courage and skill in standing up to the United States, he must continue to do so in order to overcome the US's parliamentary accomplices, who now form the majority of Pakistan's parliament.
That illegitimate majority is now trying to prevent the occurrence of the general election that Prime Minister Imran Khan ordered on 4 April. Were that election to occur, few of those now in control of Pakistan's parliament would remain in office.
At around midnight, Queensland time, tomorrow night, that is Saturday 9 April and not Friday 8 April as I had previously erroneously posted, Imran Khan will be addressing the Pakistani people about the current political crisis. Hopefully, we will be able to get both the video and transcript of that address and then be able to republish it here, on candobetter.
