The political turmoil in Pakistan could reach a crescendo on Thursday with Prime Minister Imran Khan expected to resign from his position but not before some theatrics from his end.

According to media reports, Imran Khan displayed the letter during a 'power show' rally hosted by the governing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
 

Speculation is that Imran Khan may make a big announcement in his address to the nation tonight.

In just less than a week, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's political fortunes have plunged to an extent that his being booted out of power is a certainty.

The Pakistan Democratic Movement, an alliance of opposition MPs, has been attempting to entice Khan's coalition partners, some of whom were ready to quit him. The proposal will be debated in the House on Thursday, and a vote will be made within seven days.

A look at the latest developments on the political turmoil that has rocked the corridors of power in Pakistan

The Opposition parties filed a no-confidence motion in the National Assembly in order to depose Imran Khan. The Imran Khan administration needs at least 172 votes in the 342-member National Assembly to survive the no-confidence motion.
 

Every year, religious extremists abduct and convert many women from minority populations, particularly Hindus in Sindh, according to the report. According to the research, Pakistan's minority populations have long experienced the issue of forced marriages and conversions.

In the viral video, it can be heard small arms firings are going on in the background. However, no official version has so far come out on the explosion issue. 
 

Making its intention clear to make the most of the incident, Pakistan’s foreign ministry said that a "serious matter" like this cannot be addressed with the simplistic explanation offered by the Indian authorities.
