Members of opposition parties in Pakistan are staging a sit-in protest in capital Islamabad, demanding the ouster of Prime Minister Imran Khan over his handling of the economy.
Opposition cleric Fazl-ur-Rehman of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl is leading the protests, which are supported by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s Shahbaz Sharif and Pakistan People’s Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. Khan has refused to resign.
“Our history is full of movements,” Rehman said. “We will remain in the arena until we get rid of the government.”
The protests are the first serious challenge to the ruling government, amid high inflation and record borrowing costs that have boosted the cost of living and put pressure on businesses in the South Asian nation.
