"Behind me is the Supreme Court of Pakistan, which on Thursday declared Pakistani President Arif Alvi's decision to dissolve the National Assembly contrary to the Constitution and restored the government.
The apex court also ordered the assembly to summon a session to vote on a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The verdict came after the National Assembly rejected the opposition alliance's no-confidence motion against the prime minister on Sunday, and declared it against the country's Constitution.
In a short verdict, the Supreme Court said that Khan's advice to the president to dissolve the National Assembly was contrary to the Constitution of Pakistan and has no legal effect.
