Reuters: Pakistan's PM Khan rejects calls to quit ahead of vote to oust him
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday rejected opposition calls for him to resign, and accused an unnamed Western country of backing moves to oust him because he had visited Moscow recently for talks with President Vladimir Putin.
Khan, 69, has faced mounting criticism of his performance, including his management of a troubled economy of the nuclear armed country.
On Sunday, he faces a tough parliamentary no-confidence vote seeking to oust him from power. "I have never accepted defeat in life.
Whatever the result of the vote, I will come forward with more strength," Khan said in a nationally televised live address.
