Former President Asif Ali Zardari has said after Mian Shehbaz Sharif is elected prime minister, Imran Khan will be the Leader of the Opposition, 24NewsHD TV channel reported.

“I will welcome Imran Khan to become Leader of Opposition in National Assembly,” Asif Ali Zardari said in wake of the Supreme Court decision to resume proceedings on the no-confidence motion against PM Imran.

“I hope Imran Khan will play a democratic role as the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly,” he said.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan set aside the deputy speaker's ruling to dismiss the no-trust resolution against Prime Minister Imran and the subsequent dissolution of the National Assembly by the President on the PM's advice.

Last week, Asif Ali Zardari said the no-trust move against Prime Minister Imran Khan will succeed and there would be no NRO for him.

He was talking to the media at the Parliament House prior to the NA session that was adjourned by the deputy speaker amid the opposition’s protest.
