In a joint statement issued on Sunday, the joint opposition said that PM Imran committed an “open coup” against the country and the Constitution, the punishment of which is enshrined in Article 6 of the Constitution. They said PM Imran’s “mutiny” against the Constitution and law of the land merited the strongest condemnation possible. They termed the steps taken by the PTI-led government to as the “darkest day in the history of the country on which rebellion against the constitution, democracy, law and political ethics had been committed and later shamelessly celebrated”.

The joint statement also appreciated the move of the top court to take notice of the situation, saying the opposition welcomed the immediate action and issuance of short order by the Chief Justice of Pakistan and his fellow judges in view of the “serious constitutional crisis” facing the country and the nation. The united opposition and the 220 million people of Pakistan were now looking towards the apex court hoping that they would stand by the Constitution and will decide on the crisis created by the unconstitutional measures taken by “Imran Niazi” and would deliver a fair and just decision in the light of the Constitution, read the statement.
