Undoubtedly, there was serious public reaction on the removal of Imran Khan as Prime Minister of Pakistan. People came out on roads, travelled for hours crossing all the hurdles created by the coalition government to reach Islamabad on Imran Khan’s call. The youth, who make up the backbone of Khan’s supporters, dominated the crowds. In the southern Arabian Sea port city of Karachi, more than 20,000 people shouted slogans promising Khan’s return to power. In capital Islamabad, the lights from thousands of supporters lit up the night sky as Khan made his way through the crowd atop a brightly colored truck.

People are frustrated and raising voices for their sustenance after being immensely burdened by the economic measures imposed by the current government in the name of saving country from bankruptcy and availing International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) bailout program. Imran Khan has also called the public again for peaceful protest across the country against the nation’s crushing inflation, the imported government imposed on Pakistan through the US conspiracy to change the government and the NRO-2 provided by this government to save its 1100 billion rupees of corruption.
