No-Confidence Vote: Desperate Pakistan PM Imran Khan Calls For Street Protests

Islamabad: Imran Khan Khan’s time as Pakistan Prime Minister is running out. In fact, this could be the last night of his reign.

Ahead of Sunday’s no-confidence vote in parliament, a desperate Imran called on his supporters to take to the streets to protest against what he calls unjust and unfair move to throw him out of office.

Reiterating his position that a “conspiracy” had been hatched outside Pakistan to unseat him, Imran urged his backers to stage peaceful protests.

“I want you all to protest for an independent and free Pakistan,” he said during a public question-and-answer phone-in broadcast by state media.

Parliament will debate the motion on Sunday, following which a vote will be held.

Chances of Imran’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI) losing the no-confidence vote are very high as it has effectively lost majority in the 342-member National Assembly.

A coalition partner has said its seven members will vote for the opposition, while more than a dozen PTI lawmakers have indicated they will cross the floor.
