According to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Imran’s politics are “based on lies.”
After Imran claimed that Bajwa was responsible for the PTI’s ouster, the premier claimed that the PTI chief was “desperate” to return to power.
Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), is ‘based on lies,’ according to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose remarks were made on Monday.
The current prime minister declared on his official Twitter account that “Imran Niazi’s antics and somersaults continued to disappoint the nation.”
He added that the former prime minister’s “desperation” to regain control was the only thing that remained constant about him, even if it meant “throwing the nation into a protracted period of instability.”
Shehbaz’s remark came a day after Imran reversed his previous position and blamed the former chief of the army staff (COAS), Gen (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, rather than the US for his overthrow in April of last year.
The PTI chairman made reference to a recent article based on an interview with the former army chief Bajwa while speaking to his supporters via a video link. He said that while the country was aware that the former COAS had overthrown the PTI government, he had not anticipated Bajwa to “admit to this.”
The deposed PM also discussed his accusations that the US was a part of a “conspiracy” that ultimately resulted in his removal in an earlier interview with Voice of America. He also stated that, based on the information he had received, he no longer believed that Washington had intended to overthrow his government.
“Whatever occurred, as events continue to develop, it was not the US that ordered Pakistan to remove me. Sadly, based on the evidence that has surfaced, Gen. Bajwa was the one who was able to convince the Americans that I was anti-American. Therefore, it (the plot to have me removed) was not imported from there. It was shipped abroad from here, “As stated by Imran.
