Pakistan’s foreign policy was put at risk by Imran’s “lust” for power, according to PM Shehbaz, whose “hypocrisy knows no bounds.”

Imran Khan, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), came under fire from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday, who said that his “lies and lust for power have imperiled Pakistan’s vital foreign policy interests”.

He added “his hypocrisy knows no bounds” in a tirade against the former prime minister that the premier launched on Twitter.

Imran Niazi’s duplicity, according to the Prime Minister, “knows no bounds. He has accused the US of overthrowing his government and is now courting the US to mend fences.”

Days before to Shehbaz’s remark, US Congressman Brad Sherman posted a letter he had sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken regarding “democracy in Pakistan” and, more especially, the purported “political victimisation” of the PTI.

Additionally, earlier in March, a congressman from the Democratic party raised concerns about what he called “alleged custodial torture and sexual abuse of political figures” like PTI leaders Shahbaz Gill and Azam Swati and urged the US administration to support democracy and human rights in the nation.

conspiracy theory storyline

Imran said that a foreign nation had delivered a threatening communication via Pakistan’s envoy in April 2022 and forwarded the Foreign Office cypher to Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial.

A few months later, the ousted premier reversed course on his “foreign conspiracy narrative,” in which he claimed that the US had orchestrated his downfall by backing the then-opposition’s no-confidence resolution.

Imran expressed a desire to engage with Washington in an interview with the Financial Times, saying that despite accusing the US of treating Pakistan like a “slave,” he still wants to restore fences.

If re-elected, the PTI chairman had stated that he no longer “blamed” the US and desired a “dignified” relationship.
