Humbled Imran Khan pleads for amnesty, Opposition says nothing doing

<p>
Facing the defeat in no-confidence vote in Pakistan National Assembly, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan Niazi “offers” a deal to the combined opposition under which he said that he was ready to announce fresh elections after dissolving the house , if the opposition withdraws no-confidence motion against him. Imran Khan has also asked for a “safe passage” for himself, reports The News.</p>
<p>
Khan’s offer was conveyed to the opposition through a very “important person”. In his message he also said that if the opposition doesn’t agree to his suggestion, he is ready to face any situation.</p>
<p>
The opposition which has gathered to debate the no-confidence motion, unanimously has rejected Imran Khan’s deal. They asked the speaker to hold the voting on the motion at the earliest.</p>
<p>
“We will not give any NRO to Imran Khan nor will we withdraw the no-confidence motion. The only advice to the Prime Minister is to resign today and allow the Leader of the Opposition to take a vote of confidence,” says Bilawal Zardari Bhutto adding that Imran Khan’s over is finished.</p>

“عمران خان کو کسی قسم کا این آر او نہیں دیں گے اور نہ ہی عدم اعتماد واپس لیں گے۔ وزیراعظم کو ایک ہی مشورہ ہے کہ وہ آج ہی استعفی دیں اور قائد حزب اختلاف کو اعتماد کا ووٹ لینے دیں۔”<br />

“Imran Khan is pleading for mercy from those whom he has accused under the same NRO, time has changed,” says another opposition leader.</p>
<p>
With emotions running high, and demands for immediate exit growing, the Speaker has adjourned the National Assembly till Sunday morning.</p>
<p>
Meanwhile Khan’s information minister has announced that PM Imran Khan will be addressing the nation on Thursday night.</p>
<p>
Earlier Imran Khan had summoned a meeting of the National Security Committee on Thursday afternoon, which was attended by the cabinet members and Pakistani army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and ISI chief Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum along with some senior officials of the military establishment. Khan had invited his coalition partners MQM-P and ANP but they refused to come. Instead, they were seen in the assembly with the opposition members. </p>
<p>
According to sources, the “important” person who delivered the message of Imran Khan to the opposition was none other than the army chief Bajwa. </p>
<p>
“We are neither mad nor we intend to commit suicide by accepting any safe exit proposal of Imran. There is no pressure by the establishment on us to accept any proposal of Imran,” Pakistani journalist Murtaza Solangi quoted as one opposition leader saying.</p>

A top opposition leader tells me:<br />
“We are neither mad nor we intend to commit suicide by accepting any safe exit proposal of Imran. There is no pressure by establishment on us to accept any proposal of Imran. Period.”</p>
