Pakistan ‘inches away’ from civil unrest after ousting of Imran Khan

Former PM is accused of creating wave of public anger that could prove difficult to control

On Tuesday, two days after Imran Khan had been ousted as Pakistan's prime minister in a dramatic no-confidence vote, Noor Alam Khan - a politician and former member of Khan's party - was eating dinner at a restaurant when he was confronted by another diner.

The man began shouting traitor", American agent" and turncoat" and then lunged over to punch Khan, who had been attempting to ignore him. In the middle of the restaurant, the politician and the angry voter began to brawl, with food and tables going flying.
