PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Saturday announced that his party would hold a long march to Islamabad in the last week of May against an “imported government” that was imposed on the country in cahoots with foreign powers. In a video message, the former premier said that the decision to stage the long march was made in the PTI's core committee meeting. Imran, a cricket star-turned-politician, claimed that the US was behind his ouster from power, an assertion that Washington denies. In his letters to the CJP and president, Imran claimed that the summary contained proof that the vote of no confidence -- which saw him ousted on April 9 -- was part of a “foreign-funded conspiracy”. Imran called upon the SC and President Alvi to “live up” to the trust placed upon them to “protect the people of Pakistan from such foreign conspiracies”.
