Dear All,
There are situations when certain employees are asked to leave and threatened that if they do not resign, then they will be terminated. I would love to get your suggestions on what the employees can do to defend themselves.
Thank you.

It is a very difficult situation. He can take legal action, but that is time-consuming. He can go to the labor officer of the area (if he is a worker) and complain, and seek union support as well. When suddenly asked to go, the best an employee can do is to politely try and find out reasons. If an employee is careful and alert, he can pick up signs that he is on a hit list. Subtle signs are always there, which many times do not get noticed (depending on the seniority of position or appointment). The best way is if you start sensing any such signal, then start looking around for other options in a discreet manner.

Dear Bafna,
This is in addition to what Mr. Nathrao has said. What is the nature of your industry? What type of work do employees handle? In which city is your company located?
Before seeking help from the Labour Officer (LO), it is important to gather evidence of the threat. Therefore, all employees should come together and decide that if anyone receives a threat, he/she needs to record the conversation between the authority and that employee. This type of sting operation is necessary to generate evidence.
Even before conducting the sting operation, please find out where the labor office is located for your company's area. When a threat arises, you should be able to seek help from the LO promptly.
Thanks,

I guess the employer is only verbally threatening you to resign/leave; otherwise, you will face termination. Since he has not yet terminated the service, try to gather as much documentary evidence as possible so that you can use it later.
Once terminated, you can approach the appropriate authority for legal remedies, which can be time-consuming as well as costly. So, think before you decide and if possible consult a labor advocate in this regard.

There may be reasons that such a situation arises. Threatening to resign is not a valid reason. Threatening means somebody forcefully trying to leave. As long as your appointment is legal, you can fight for your rights. As others indicated, you must look out for evidence and signs being used against you. Seek legal advice and take action.
