ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistan’s parliament on Thursday adopted a resolution rejecting a Supreme Court order to hold provincial snap polls, the house speaker said.
The top court had earlier this week ruled illegal the government’s move to delay the snap polls in two provinces where former prime minister Imran Khan had dissolved his local governments earlier this year.
The speaker, in a live TV telecast, said the motion was adopted with a majority.
