What can we anticipate from Pakistans next Prime Minister? | In Focus
The lead headline in \u2018The Indian Express\u2019 newspaper after Pakistan\u2019s National Assembly voted out a Prime Minister for the first time ever said it all. \u201cImran Khan goes, kicking & screaming\u201d, it read.\nRefusing to read the writing on the wall, Mr. Khan tried desperately to hang on to power even on the 9th of April, delaying a vote in the National Assembly after the country\u2019s Supreme Court, in a unanimous verdict, had ordered that the no-confidence motion against him be taken up again.\nFinally, in the early hours of the 10th of April, and after a dramatic resignation by Speaker Asad Qaiser, the National Assembly voted out Mr. Khan as Prime Minister. The Pakistan Muslim League (Noon) leader Shehbaz Sharif is expected to be elected the new Prime Minister. We discuss these developments in this episode.\nGuest: Fahd Husain, columnist for the Pakistani newspaper, Dawn, and anchor for the Dawn News television channel.\nHost: Amit Baruah, Senior Associate Editor, The Hindu, who worked as the newspaper\u2019s correspondent in Pakistan from 1997 to 2000.\nEdited by Ranjani Srinivasan
