Protesters have demonstrated in the city of Peshawar, despite a government threat to ban gatherings to curb rising coronavirus cases.
The PM, who came to power on an anti-corruption platform, has said the campaign is aimed at blackmailing him to drop corruption cases against opposition leaders.
Pakistan's powerful military denies interfering in politics and Mr Khan rejects claims it helped him win.
The next general election is not due until 2023.
