Ahead of the no-confidence vote against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led government, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will address the nation tonight, said federal minister Fawad Chaudhry.

Fawad Chaudary took to Twitter to announce this. He said PM Khan will address the nation tonight.

The development comes as the Pakistan National Assembly prepares to debate the no-confidence vote against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's government in the Lower House session, which is slated to begin at 4 p.m. today.

The National Assembly secretariat issued the order on Wednesday night to address the no-trust resolution on today's (Thursday) schedule.

Meanwhile, Imran Khan has convened a National Security Committee (NSC) meeting at his residence in the afternoon, according to Fawad Chaudhry.

Imran Khan postponed his address to the nation yesterday, just hours after announcing that he will keep people in the dark about a "foreign-funded conspiracy letter" to present "proof" of attempts to destabilise his government.

The proceedings were deferred until March 31 after a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan was tabled in the National Assembly with a total of 161 votes in favour.

On March 8, the Opposition parties filed a motion of no confidence in the government. As several PTI parliamentarians have come out openly against Prime Minister Imran Khan, the opposition has been optimistic that its resolution would be passed.

Shehbaz Sharif, the leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, moved the motion.

The 69-year-old cricketer-turned-politician is in command of a coalition government that might be deposed if some of the coalition partners decide to change sides. In the 342-member National Assembly, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party (PTI) has 155 members and requires at least 172 MPs to stay in power.
