Independence Day

THE Independence Day is being observed amidst uncertainties created by the President's refusal to resign despite a move for his impeachment by the ruling coalition. Three Provincial Assemblies have already passed resolutions calling on him to seek a fresh vote of confidence from his electoral college or face impeachment. A similar resolution is being presented before the Balochistan Assembly where the opposition comprises only one MPA. The impeachment resolution under preparation now would be presented during the ongoing session of the Parliament. The ruling coalition seems to have already won the number game as it enjoys the support of most of the Independents, a number of PML-Q dissidents and PPP-S which till recently was a part of the President's camp.
