Imran Khan has been on a protest drive since his ouster from the prime minister’s house through a no-confidence motion in April last year. 

He has been calling for snap polls alleging the regime change was the result of a US-back conspiracy. However, the US denied any wrongdoing.

Recently, he claimed without providing evidence that the threat to his life was greater than before.
