SWABI: The ouster of Prime Minister Imran Khan will have a domino effect and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government will also fall soon, claim Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl leaders.

Speaking at a party meeting here on Sunday, JUI-F central naib emir Maulana Fazal Ali said the PTI government’s fall was because it did not rule the country according to the wishes of people.

He said Imran Khan flagrantly violated the country’s constitution by not allowing voting on the no-confidence motion against him. He said JUI-F chief Maulana Fazalur Rehman played key role in removal of the PTI government.

JUI-F provincial general secretary Maulana Attaul Haq Darvaish said the removal of the government through constitutional way was a great success for the joint opposition, which had won the hearts of people. “PTI government’s further stay in power would have been dangerous for the country,” he said.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party’s divisional general secretary Javid Iqbal Inqilabi, while addressing a party function, said the parliamentary supremacy had been strengthened with the removal of prime minister through no-confidence vote. However, he stressed that still there was need to strengthen the institutions to ensure strong democracy.
