PAKISTAN-UNREST-POLITICS
Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan gestures as he leads a protest march to Islamabad against the country’s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz-led government in Wazirabad in eastern Punjab province on August 15, 2014. Clashes broke out on August 15, 2014 as protesters led in convoys by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and a populist cleric advanced on the Pakistani capital to try to topple the government they say was elected by fraud. Khan and preacher Tahir-ul-Qadri say the May 2013 general election that brought Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to power in a landslide was rigged, and are demanding he resign and hold new polls.
