Pakistan PM Imran Khan rejects opposition calls to step down ahead of a no-confidence move against him in his toughest challenge since coming to power in 2018
Opposition parties filed the motion earlier this month, saying Khan has lost his parliamentary majority.
"I will not resign come what may," Khan said in a statement from his office issued late Wednesday night. Khan said he would not surrender without a fight and questioned why should he quit under pressure from "crooks". Along with the defection of nearly 20 of his party lawmakers, some of his coalition partners have also suggested they may join the opposition.Accusations of mismanagement
The opposition accuses Khan of mismanaging the economy and foreign policy. He denies this. No Pakistani prime minister has ever completed his full five-year term in office.
