The Parliament of Pakistan is to vote on the opposition's no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday. Imran on Saturday called upon the people to protest across the country on Sunday. Terming the opposition who moved the no-confidence motion as a "traitor", he asked people to take to the streets on Sunday.In the program 'A Session with Array News', he told the people that if this had happened in any other country, people would have come on the streets. Therefore, for the interest of the country, I am asking all of you to come on the streets for the sake of your conscience. He also asked the youth to come down against foreign powers. He alleged that the opposition parties were trying to come to power to suppress corruption cases against them. Earlier, Imran had also claimed the army to give him three options (resignation, facing no-confidence motion and early election). Later, the army itself had denied this claim.Why was he kept under threat if threatened: ShahbazLeaders of opposition parties and Pakistan Muslim League-N President Shahbaz Sharif accused Imran of creating a drama of international conspiracy and asked why the PM had actually received a threatening letter from the US, then why did he keep pressing it till March 27.

Actually Imran wants to avoid voting on the no-confidence motion through this drama.Security beefed up near ParliamentA red zone has been made all around, encircling the parliament in Islamabad.
