‘Foreign-backed drive to remove Khan’: UK Pakistanis protest

Al Jazeera  

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party organises a protest in London to show force ahead of Pakistan’s October vote. “It’s the state of affairs in Pakistan at the moment, myself and others thought it was unjust and believe it’s part of a foreign-backed drive to remove Khan Sahib from power,” she told Al Jazeera. “In his 26 years in politics, Khan Sahib has never called for violence,” said Madiha, “so to blame him for inciting what’s been happening on the streets of Pakistan is unjust.” In the UK, peaceful protests are protected under the European Convention on Human Rights. On Sunday, one protester said: “Within Pakistan, there is no longer freedom of expression under the new regime – so it’s up to the overseas Pakistanis to speak out … we’re the only ones who still have a voice.” Madiha said that the protesters wanted the UK government to take action.
