Islamists vow to continue Pakistan protest after PM refuses to resign

Islamists vow to continue Pakistan protest after PM refuses to resignA Pakistani Islamist leader who led thousands of supporters into the capital and demanded Imran Khan's resignation vowed to continue his protest Monday, after the prime minister ignored his 48-hour deadline. Maulana Fazlur Rehman, a firebrand cleric who heads one of the country's largest Islamist parties, has accused Khan of taking power last year with the help of the military, which has ruled Pakistan for roughly half its history. Khan and the military have denied the accusations, which have swirled since the July 2018 election.
