Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will address the nation on Wednesday evening to convey that there is a 'foreign-funded conspiracy' letter that provides evidence that outside elements are trying to topple the government.
PM Khan has also summoned an emergency meeting of the federal cabinet to take party leaders and allies into confidence over the contents of the letter, Pakistan's Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed told the reporters.
The allied parties to the ruling PTI will also be invited to the meeting so that they can be taken into confidence too ahead of the no-trust motion against the PM. As many as 14 journalists have also been invited to the PM's house.
"The letter will reveal the elements who are conspiring against the country from abroad," he said at the launch of e-passport services in Islamabad and added, "Suspicions were cast that the government is doing all this to save itself."
"The letter clearly shows how big conspiracy is against the government and it is far bigger conspiracy than what I am telling to you," he added.
