Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s surprise move to call for the dissolution of the National Assembly and hold fresh elections created a scramble out of the country’s legislative system. While many things remain unclear, the opposition does not seem to agree with the unfolding situation.

Multiple Pakistani politicians, mostly from the now-in-majority opposition, have spoken out against Prime Minister Imran Khan’s last-minute move.

On the other hand, some stakeholders also decided to distance themselves from the evolving situation. Pakistan’s Army said that Sunday’s events were only “political procedures”, state media reported.

Shehbaz Sharif, who was likely to be the successor to Imran Khan before today, went on a social media outburst and accused the Prime Minister of “treason”.

“It is nothing short of a high treason. IK (Imran Khan) has pushed the country into anarchy. Niazi & his cohort will not be allowed to go scot-free. There will be consequences for blatant and brazen violations of the Constitution. Hope SC (Supreme Court) will play its role to uphold the Constitution”, Shehbaz Sharif said.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party, also swiftly reacted to the situation and accused Prime Minister Imran Khan of “violating the constitution” but blocking the vote of no confidence.

However, not everyone was against the rabbit Imran Khan pulled out of his hat. Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, said in a statement, “Prime Minister Imran Khan fulfilled his promise to surprise the nation. Now we will prepare for the elections and insha’Allah we will win by a landslide and eliminate thieves, looters and traitors from Pakistan.”

Pakistan’s constitution calls for the establishment of an interim government to see the country toward elections, which are to be held within 90 days. According to the constitution the interim government is to be established with input from the opposition.
