Pakistan's embattled prime minister faces a tough no-confidence vote introduced by his political opposition, which says it has the numbers to defeat him.
Khan said Washington opposed his Feb. 24 meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin hours after tanks rolled into Ukraine launching a devastating war in the heart of Europe.
“Of course, we continue to follow these developments and support Pakistan’s constitutional process, but again these allegations are absolutely not true,” she said. “You have to come out to protect your own future. It is you who have to protect your democracy, your sovereignty and your independence ... This is your duty,” he said. “I will not accept an imposed government.”
A no-confidence vote loss for Khan on Saturday would bring to power in Pakistan an opposition of unlikely partners.Among them is a radically religious party that runs scores of religious schools or madrassas. The Jamiat-e-ulema-Islam or Assembly of Clerics teaches a deeply conservative brand of Islam in its schools and many of Afghanistan’s Taliban and Pakistan’s own homegrown violent Taliban members graduated from JUI schools.
