Imran Khan: “There is A foreign Plot to Change The Regime in Pakistan”
The dismissed Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan stressed the existence of an external conspiracy to change the regime in his country, noting that the Pakistani people would protect democracy and sovereignty.
And he stressed in a tweet on his Twitter account today, Sunday, that Pakistan gained its independence in 1947, but the struggle for freedom was launched again today in the face of the foreign conspiracy.
He also added that the people in any country are always those who defend democracy and sovereignty.
no confidence
Khan was sacked after losing a parliamentary vote of no-confidence following a weeks-long political crisis.
174 deputies voted in favor of no-confidence, in a country where no prime minister has completed.
no confidence
The former cricket star tried by various means to stay in office, including dissolving Parliament and calling early elections, but the Supreme Court issued a decision in which it considered all the measures he had taken last week to be invalid, and ordered the National Assembly to convene and to hold a vote of no-confidence.
After a long day of controversy between representatives in the Pakistani parliament, where the opposition accused the government of doing everything in its power to postpone the vote, the no-confidence motion against Khan came, according to what was reported by “AFP”.
His allies split
But even minutes before the vote, the fate of Khan, who was elected in 2018, was almost settled, after some of his allies in the ruling coalition defected from him, while members of his party, the Insaf Movement, announced that they would vote in favor of no-confidence in him.

Parliament is scheduled to hold a session on Monday to elect a new prime minister to replace Khan.
