Imran Khan tweeted.Imran Khan has been calling the move by the Opposition to bring a no-confidence motion against his government, a "foreign conspiracy" involving the US to oust him.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
