Pakistani opposition leader Imran Khan called on his supporters to stop paying tax and electricity bills in a bid to oust Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as thousands of protesters camped on the capital’s streets for a third day.
Khan gave Sharif two days to resign in a speech last night to crowds that arrived in Islamabad amid heavy rains on Aug. 16 following a 250-kilometer (155-mile) journey from Lahore. Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said International Monetary Fund officials told him they were “surprised” by the protest.
