Islamabad High Court is set to hear a petition on Monday, seeking an inquiry into Imran Khan’s alleged letter regarding the involvement of a country in a conspiracy against his government.

Imran had attacked the opposition over a no-confidence motion saying he was being targeted as part of a “foreign conspiracy” with the collaboration of top opposition leaders.

The petition was filed by a citizen Molvi Iqbal Haider and he also urged the court to place the names of Imran Khan, Chaudhary Fawad Hussain, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Qasim Suri and Asad Majeed on the Exit Control List (ECL). People placed on ECL are not allowed to leave Pakistan.

During the vote, members of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were not present.

Imran Khan had tried to block a no-confidence motion last week and dissolved the lower house of parliament, but Pakistan’s top court ordered on Thursday the vote would have to be held by Saturday.

The Pakistani National Assembly had a total strength of 342 members, with the majority mark being 172. The PTI-led coalition was formed with the support of 179 members, with Imran Khan’s PTI having 155 members, and four major allies MQM-P, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) and Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) having seven, five, five and three members respectively.

The opposition party had moved the no-trust motion against the PM on March 8 and Khan received a massive blow after the PTI lost its key ally Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P). The MQM sided with Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and supported the no-trust vote.

Khan, who came to power in 2018 has been accused of economic mismanagement with Pakistan facing depleting foreign exchange reserves and double-digit inflation.

Founded in 1997, Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf stormed to power in Pakistan by winning 176 votes.

Khan had first contested for a National Assembly seat in October 2002 elections and served as a Member Parliament from NA- 71, Mianwali until 2007.
