Pakistan’s defiant ex-PM Imran Khan calls for protests to force elections
- Pakistan’s ousted prime minister Imran Khan announced a plan to topple the new government
- He called for his supporters to march peacefully on Islamabad on May 25 for a protest
Recently ousted Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan asked his supporters to march on Islamabad, the nation’s capital, for a sit-in on May 25 as a way to press the government to quit and call new elections.
Khan’s move is likely to fuel further political instability in a country already facing an economic crisis from rising inflation.
At a Sunday press conference in Peshawar, the former cricket star urged his backers to protest for as long as needed. Khan recently has held a series of rallies – aimed at channelling anger against the government of new Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif – drawing massive crowds across the country.
“We will not accept this government,” said Khan. “We will sit in Islamabad until they dissolve the assemblies and announce a date for elections that are transparent and without any foreign interference.”
