Maulana Fazl sets two-day deadline for PM Imran Khan to resign.

ISLAMABAD -- Ameer Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday gave Prime Minister Imran Khan two days to resign "or else we will be forced to think of another strategy". "We cannot show more patience," he said. "We are giving two days' time otherwise the people have the capability to enter the PM House by force and arrest the prime minister," he added.
