HUNDREDS OF SUPPORTERS OF IMRAN KHAN PROTEST OUTSIDE EXILED LEADER NAWAZ SHARIF’S HOME

Sun 10 April 2022:

Protesters in support of Pakistan’s ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan gathered outside the London residence of the country’s previous leader Nawaz Sharif today, asking for an end to the country’s ‘corruption.’

Supporters of ailing Prime Minister Khan, who has governed the country since 2018, were disappointed by yesterday’s dramatic no-confidence vote in Parliament.

Many protesters were enraged as they gathered in Hyde Park and outside Sharif’s Mayfair residence, Avenfield House, and promised to resist any ‘imported’ government.

One woman said: ‘It’s about our prime minister being hoisted out by corrupt politicians, they were corrupt before in Pakistan. He [Khan] was voted in by the people and unfortunately, due to America’s pressure, they brought all the other political parties together and hoisted him out.’

Others vowed to send ‘no remittances’ to Pakistan until Khan was reinstated as Prime Minister.

Avenfield is where Pakistan’s super-rich former prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, has lived when in London since 1993, knocking four luxury flats together to make a single mansion, now worth at least £7 million.

He shares it with his sons, Hassan and Hussain, his daughter and political heir-apparent Maryam and her husband Muhammad Safdar. The Avenfield flats form just a fraction of a London property empire owned by Sharif’s family.

Sharif’s younger brother Shehbaz, 70, submitted his nomination to be Pakistan’s next prime minister to the legislature today, his party said, after incumbent Imran Khan lost a no-confidence vote in parliament after nearly four years in power.

Khan, the first Pakistani prime minister to be ousted by a no confidence vote, had clung on for almost a week after a united opposition first tried to remove him.

On Sunday, he repeated allegations that a foreign conspiracy was behind the regime change.
