ISLAMADABAD: As two dozen ruling party MLAs in Pakistan have vowed to support a no-confidence motion against Pakistan PM Imran Khan over alleged economic crisis, inflation and misrule, he might be overthrown from power.

The no-confidence motion will be put up for discussion in Parliament session on Monday. Imran will have to resign if he loses the polls. 24 MPs of the ruling party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is demanding Imran's resignation. But it is not clear whether the army will side with Imran.

Imran's party and the opposition party has announced march on the same day. There are fears that this might lead to a street fight. The opposition has filed a no-confidence motion in the Secretariat of the National Assembly, Pakistan's parliament, on August 8.

Fearing retaliation by Imran, rebel MPs lives in a Sindh house owned by the Sindh provincial government in Islamabad. The ruling party in Sindh is the Pakistan People's Party. Imran's party members marched on Sindh House and broke down the gate. They were arrested and removed.

At the same time Imran's party alleges that MPs were kidnapped by Sindh govt through bribery. Home Minister Sheikh Rashida has called for the dissolution of the Sindh government, which buys members of parliament, and to impose governor's rule.

Imran needs the support of 172 people to overcome no-confidence motion.
