Ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan called the conspiracy of illegal regime change a plot by the US administration that is at odds with him. He expressed anger at the US, which had a hand in the contested no-confidence vote.
The entanglement of Pakistan with China in his regime has always been a big issue; especially now that he supports Putin makes the ousting more relevant to the west.
Pakistan Regime Change
Last April 9, when the no-confidence vote went down, knocking Khan from power, reported the Express UK.
According to the opposition parties, the reasons are below-par performance in the economy and social indicators, poor governance, and dealing with a political opponent; another is a poorly executed economic and foreign policy. But he still believes the move to oust power is from foreign backers that want necessary changes in the country for the west's benefit.
Last March, he claimed that his government got a cable from diplomatic sources on March 7 that underlined that a US-instigated move is in motion to replace him as the Pak PM, cited the Dawn.
Identified as the sender of the contentious letter is Donald Lu, the assistant Secretary of State for the South and Central Asian Affairs but was denied. Lu remarked the US is looking at Islamabad and the country as if trying to insinuate but added that America does not have any issue with the rule of law.
Khan Loses No Confidence Voted
Ex-Pakistan Prime Minister Khan posted on social media after a rally for his supporters in Karachi was held last Saturday; he gave thanks to supporters and said a coup to displace him from office was an illegal regime change.
He thanked the people of Karachi for their turnout and support for the jalsa. Added that it's the fight for freedom and the right for a sovereign Pakistan that is under threat from a US-initiated regime change conspiracy. He said those working with Washington and corrupted mafia of politicians doing the bidding of the US.
In the rally, the ex-PM alleged the government led by Shehbaz Sharif had a plan of pushing his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party out with foreign money.
Pakistan's High Court on Thursday ordered the Election Commission of Pakistan to decide on the foreign funding case, which has been ongoing since November 14, 2014, noted the Business Standard.
The ex-PM mentioned the corruption cases directed against the Pakistan People's Party and Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz); the party of Mr. Sharif must be included.
A move to reconcile with India and other tensions was in progress, but an emphasis on the relationship between Islamabad and New Delhi is in the works. He told the people who wanted to work with all countries during the rally not to be against them.
One of his goals is to forge peace with Europe, India, the US, and the world. He is against slavery and all for friendship.
Last Saturday, the Karachi rally gathered about 30,000 people to show solidarity with the deposed leader.
Several Pakistani agencies give the numbers of 30,000-35,000 were at the PTI rally, but some added it was 60,000 to 100,000 attending the jalsa.
Imran Khan, the ex-Pakistan Prime Minister, said the illegal regime change authored by the US was to get him out of the office and install someone loyal to western interests.
