        Pakistan's parliament is to meet in a special joint session on Wednesday to "take important decisions" to enforce the state's authority, media
        reported, in the midst of prolonged anti-government defiance by former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
        
        Former cricket star Khan was prime minister from 2018 until 2022, when he was ousted from office in a parliamentary vote. Since then, he has been demanding a new election and holding protests across the country to press his case.
        
        His supporters have clashed with police several times over recent days as authorities try to force him to appear in court in connection with various cases brought against him.
