Pakistan Political Crisis Latest News: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday ordered the government to submit the minutes of proceedings during the Sunday’s event. Adjourning the hearing for Wednesday, the top court said that it was only looking at the legality of the order by the Deputy Speaker that blocked the no-trust vote against the Imran Khan government. The lawyers representing the Opposition leaders asked the apex court to issue an order at the earliest that settles the matter regarding the ruling. A 5-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial is hearing the matter. On Monday, in a packed courtroom, the three judge Bench adjourned the hearing for Tuesday. It also rejected the Opposition’s demand for a full Bench.
