As the Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar continues to rock Pakistan, VICE News filmed the final days of opposition leader Imran Khan's continuing struggle against the government. As the leader of the country's opposition Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI), Khan had called for a series of demonstrations and city-wide shut downs to protest against the legitimacy of the 2013 election of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Having previously rallied in the industrial city of Faisalabad on December 8, his next target was Karachi, leading up to a proposed nationwide shutdown that was called for on December 18 and which, due to recent events, has been abandoned.
