Pakistan Parliament dismissed Prime Minister Imra Khan, at Putin's side

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been fired from office after losing a no-confidence vote on his leadership in the country's parliament.

The vote was held after midnight Saturday, in a motion brought by the opposition to oust the former captain of the national power team.

The motion against Khan was brought for the first time last week by the opposition, but it blocked it by scattering parliament.

Later was the Supreme Court who opened the way for Sunday's vote, which ruled in favour of opposition parties and said Khan had acted unconstitutionally.

Imran Khan is the first Pakistani prime minister to be dismissed by a no-confidence vote. Opposition parties were able to secure 174 votes in the 342-member chamber in support of the no-confidence motion.

In a tweet, opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan and its parliament were finally freed from a serious crisis.

Khan indicated earlier that he would not recognise an opposition government, claiming there was a US-led plot to remove it because of his refusal to stay with Washington on issues against Russia and China.
