Pakistani opposition leader Imran Khan and a convoy of tens of thousands entered Islamabad seeking the ouster of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over allegations of fraud in elections 15 months ago.
Khan’s supporters clashed with stone-throwing opponents in the town of Gujranwala about 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of the Pakistani capital yesterday. That led the opposition leader to switch to a new vehicle from an open-top truck enroute to the capital, where he plans to sit in protest.
