Pakistan calls early election amid move to remove PM Imran Khan
Pakistan's president has dissolved parliament and called early elections following a parliamentary attempt to remove PM Imran Khan from office.
It Comes after parliament's deputy speaker refused to hold a vote of no-confidence the PM was expected to lose.
Mr Khan claims the US is leading a conspiracy to remove him because of his criticism of US policy and other foreign policy decisions he has taken.

His political opponents seized the opportunity to demand the no-confidence vote after persuading A Number of his coalition partners to defect to them.
On Sunday, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry told MPs that Pakistani officials had been told of " an operation for a regime change by a foreign government".
This, He Said , went against The Constitution and The Deputy speaker chairing The Session - a close ally of the Prime Minister - proceeded to declare the vote unconstitutional.

We call on ALL institutions to protect, uphold, defend and implement The Constitution of Pakistan, " Chairman of the opposition Pakistan People's Party Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari tweeted before The President approved the Prime Minister 's advice to dissolve parliament.
Imran Khan , elected In July 2018 vowing to tackle corruption and fix the economy, remains popular with some voters, even though a lot of his public support has been lost as a result of rocketing inflation and ballooning foreign debt.

In public, however, both the military and Mr Khan deny there has been any falling out.
There have been only two previous instances in Pakistan's political history when sitting Prime Ministers faced a vote of no confidence, and both times Benazir Bhutto , in 1989, and Shaukat Aziz , in 2006, emerged unscathed.
