OUSTED former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan vowed to march on the capital Islamabad yesterday, issuing the government with an ultimatum to call a new election within six days.
He said millions of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters would mobilise in support of the demand, with the government insisting it will not hold fresh elections.
