The Pakistani rupee has fallen to a record low as the top court will deliver a verdict on the case of the National Assembly deputy speaker’s obstruction of a bid to remove Prime Minister Imran Khan. Khan lost his parliamentary majority last week and almost faced a no-confidence vote on Sunday.
The deputy speaker of parliament threw out the motion for the no-confidence vote and the president dissolved parliament and called for general elections, on Khan’s recommendation.

The situation also threatens Pakistan’s relationships with foreign countries.
