The We For News reported, Massive protests rocked multiple Pakistani cities, including the country’s capital of Islamabad, on Sunday (Apr 10), with thousands taking to the streets to express their support to the deposed Prime Minister Imran Khan.

It said that he was ousted by the country’s parliament in a successful no-confidence vote on Saturday (Apr 9). Khan blasted the vote as a foreign-backed regime change operation.

Khan said on Twitter, sharing footage of the protests: “Never have such crowds come out so spontaneously and in such numbers in our history, rejecting the imported govt led by crooks."

The protests were spearheaded by Khan’s PTI party, which called upon its members and supporters to take to the streets across the country.

Earlier in the day, Khan reiterated his allegations against the US, blaming his ouster on Washington and branding it a “regime change” operation aimed at bringing “into power a coterie of pliable crooks all out on bail.”

Never have such crowds come out so spontaneously and in such numbers in our history, rejecting the imported govt led by crooks.
