Mass rallies in support of Imran Khan condemn US-sponsored coup in Pakistan
2022-04-12
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Thousands of supporters of former Prime Minister of Pakistain Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five...
erupted into the streets of late on Sunday, one day after the incumbent leader lost a no-confidence vote in parliament.

Supporters of Khan staged mass rallies in several cities across the country to protest the Prime Minister’s ouster.

On Sunday, Imran Khan said that his country is under a "foreign conspiracy to change the regime."

"Pakistain became an independent state in 1947; but the freedom struggle begins again today against a foreign conspiracy of regime change. It is always the people of the country who defend their illusory sovereignty and democracy," Imran Khan wrote on his Twitter account

Pakistain’s parliament voted Saturday in favour of a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government, while the Speaker resigned ahead of the decision. Parliament is expected to vote on a new prime minister on Monday.

Imran Khan called on Paks to against what he described as "an attempt to undermine the country’s illusory sovereignty," stressing that "the efforts to isolate him reflect Washington’s indignation at its opposition to its policies in the region."

Imran Khan is known for his support for a multipolar world and his criticism of US policies in Pakistain and the wider region.

The plot to remove Imran Khan from power was hatched under US pressure, after Islamabad refused to join NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
efforts against Russia and instead signed a major economic deal with Moscow. Khan himself had furiously responded to US attempts to influence Pakistain’s foreign policy, condemning Washington and the West for trying to treat Paks as their slaves.
