Iran Press/ Asia: Protest rallies were organized in cities including Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar, Malakand, Multan Khanewal, Khyber, Jhang, and Quetta, with demonstrators shouting slogans against the Opposition.
Earlier in the day, ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan tweeted that today marked the beginning of a "freedom struggle" against what he said was a "foreign conspiracy of regime change" in Pakistan.
He said, "it is always the people who protected their own sovereignty and democracy."
Despite the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government's hectic efforts to avoid voting on the no-confidence motion against Khan, the joint Opposition succeeded in its month-long efforts to oust Khan from the office as 174 members of the 342-member National Assembly voted against him.
In an interview with IranPress, a number of demonstrators supported Imran Khan and stressed that they do not accept American slavery and will stand by the PTI to end foreign interference in their country's affairs.
Demonstrators and supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chanted "Down With America" and "Anyone who is a friend of America is a traitor" while holding their country's flag.
Khan, 69, became the first premier in the country's history to be sent home after losing the trust of the House.
