The foreign media has revealed that Prime Minister Imran Khan's popularity eroded over the rising inflation and aggravation of the trade deficit, as the economy is in a critical state.
The British newspaper "Telegraph" wrote that Pakistan was plunged into political turmoil to avoid a vote of no-confidence motion by Imran Khan.
The former cricketer dissolved parliament instead of abolishing it through his prime ministerial vote.
The newspaper claimed that PM's future is uncertain. Pakistan is facing political uncertainty.
His move sparked a constitutional war with his opponents, who immediately demanded the Supreme Court of the country to revive the no-confidence motion.
The British newspaper "Financial Times" writes that Imran Khan put Pakistan in a constitutional crisis.
Instead of facing a no-confidence vote, he dismissed parliament.
The former cricketer is fighting for power.
His party did worse than expected from opinion polls, which saw them at gaining about a third of the support.
The Establishment made it clear that it had no involvement in the current political situation
This means that the Establishment is not coming to Khan's help.
He accused the United States of overthrowing his government, but the White House denied that.
The Wall Street Journal wrote that oil and food prices in Pakistan have exacerbated the trade deficit, with Khan's subsidies and tax measures exacerbating the problem by jeopardizing bailouts from the International Monetary Fund.
The economy is in a critical state. The government is in a cycle of borrowing, with World Bank figures showing that per capita GDP is less than one-third lower than India's, making Pakistan the 183rd poorest country in the world.
