Topic A: The politics of the vote of no confidence and its consequences on the socio- political happenings of the country Personality: Muhammad Tahir Bizinjo Institution: Lahore Grammar School, 55 Main Delegate Name: Fatima Sipra Pakistan is in an economic turbulence with diminishing foreign reserves, Pakistani rupee has faced a historic depreciation against U.S. dollar, and inflation. Muhmmad Imran Niazi Khan assumed office in 2018 but his government was tottered by poor management and ineffective/inefficient governance. As Pakistan’s economic crisis grew, and tensions between Prime Minister Khan and the military establishment deepened, a coalition of opposition parties used the opportunity to push a no-confidence motion against him. The no confidence motion succeeded as it was pushed by the military behind closed doors and thus in 10th April Muhmmad Imran Niazi Khan was removed from office. MR. Imran Khan’s inefficient and poorly management government combined with impact of the Covid-19 pandemic left Pakistan’s economy badly battered. Within 3 and a half years 4 finance ministers were changed and his trade and investment policies were not constant either. He took a 6-billion-dollar loan from the IMF and during the four years of his tenure Pakistan has borrowed 10 billion dollars from China, Cascadia Arabia. Pakistani rupee is depreciating and suffering against US dollar and is the one of the world’s worst performing currencies. High utility costs, combined with increased food and petrol prices has shown slowed down industrial growth which has also hurt employment and added to the likelihood of street protests leading to rage among the public which have already been incited by Imran Khan and his supporters Awai National Party stands against inflation and is the voice of the poor. We strongly advocate progressive policies, ANP favors improvement of the relations with neighbors like Afghanistan which will help our declining economy stabilize.
