“…if the no-confidence motion against the prime minister succeeds, then the assembly will appoint the new prime minister,” the top court’s order said.

“Democracy is the best revenge! Jiya Bhutto! Jiya Awam! Pakistan Zindabad,” Bilawal said in a tweet as the government’s narrative faced a severe setback following the court’s ruling.

Talking to media personnel, Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif said the top court’s decision was in line with the expectations of the masses.

“The Constitution has been saved and Pakistan has been saved through this decision […] the court has upheld its independence and respect,” the Opposition leader said.

He thanked the top court for its unanimous decision to strengthen the parliament and its sovereignty. “We will no fight the battles of economy and politics for the people.”

Addressing the press conference alongside Fazlur-Rehman announced to observe ‘Youm-e-Tashakur’ on Friday after.

“I would like to congratulate the entire nation as it is the victory of every Pakistani. Also, it is the victory of Constitution, democracy and judiciary,” the opposition leader said.
