As Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) storm into Islamabad's red zone, Imran Khan has held on firmly to his demand that Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should step down from office.

While addressing protesters outside the Parliament, the PTI chief said that he has a "new plan" if Sharif does not resign before the deadline, reported the Dawn.

Meanwhile, he has also said that he would not leave the Parliament House until the Prime Minister steps down and has urged all Pakistanis to gather outside the government building. He also asked police officials to not obey illegal orders from the government.

Khan has vowed to bring "real democracy" in Pakistan, the report added.
