The person who is familiar with the problem said that India decided not to take official positions in the constitutional crisis in Pakistan because it was the country’s internal problem. In the case of Sri Lanka, people showed that India had provided financial assistance of around $ 2.4 billion in recent weeks, including the suspension of loan payments, and a $ 1.5 billion credit route for oil-emergency purchases, food and medicine .

“Everything depends on Sri Lankan’s side and we will see what can be done if they seek more help,” said one of those people.

Pakistan plunged into the constitutional crisis after the representative of the National Assembly speaker refused to allow the debate on Sunday with an insecured movement that was transferred by the combined opposition to Khan on the ground that it was part of “foreign conspiracy”. President Arif Alvi accesses Khan’s request to dissolve the parliament and hold elections within 90 days.

According to the Constitution, the Prime Minister cannot ask the National Assembly to dissolve while facing voting without trust. The combined opposition also received almost 200 parliamentarians, including more than two dozen dissidents from the Khan Party – more than 172 votes needed for voting without trust to succeed in the 342 member house.

Khan accused the opposition to colluding with the US for the “regime change”, based on charges of diplomatic cables sent by former Pakistani Ambassador to Washington after a senior US meeting with senior US officials. US administration has expelled the accusation.

President Alvi on Monday asked Khan and opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif to approve the Prime Minister of Interim, but Sharif refused to work together. “How can we respond to a letter written by someone who has canceled the constitution?” Sharif said at a press conference.

Khan also announced that he would lead a protest rally in Islamabad on Monday night against “Turncoats” involved in “foreign conspiracies” against his government.

The president reappointed four outgoing ministers – three to their old jobs – while replacing brother Basil Rajapaksa as finance minister with a former justice chief.

Political columnist Victor Ivan said a cabinet reshuffle in the guise of a national government would not be acceptable to the public. “What is needed is a serious reform programme, not just to revive the economy but address issues of governance,” Ivan told AFP.
